■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle
There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle is able to
move. For safety, apply the parking brake and make sure to shift the shift position to
P when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating
and are not a malfunction:
● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear
seats when the hybrid system starts or stops.
● Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine starts or
stops, when driving at low speeds, or during idling.
● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.
● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is
depressed and accelerator is loosened.
● Other sounds, such as motors and mechanical noises, may be heard from the
brake system when the brake pedal is depressed.
● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.
● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent on the side of rear
