EV/HV mode
When a sufficient amount of electricity is remaining after charging, EV driving is
performed using electricity stored in the hybrid battery (traction battery).
The amount of remaining charge can be checked on the SOC (State of Charge)
gauge.
Depending on the situation, EV driving may be canceled and both gasoline engine
and electric motor are used. Also, if a little electricity is remaining in the hybrid
battery (traction battery), HV mode is automatically selected.
When in HV mode, the vehicle is driven using both the gasoline engine and electric
motor. The operation mode can be switched to HV mode at any timing by operating
the switch to keep electricity for EV driving etc.
Switching to HV mode when driving on a highway or when driving uphill is
recommended in order to conserve battery power.
Refer to the “Owner’s Manual” for limitations and more details.
AUTO EV/HV mode
The electricity normally stored in the hybrid battery (traction battery) is used for
EV driving. However, when more power is required, such as for driving uphill
or accelerating suddenly, the gasoline engine starts and provides powerful
acceleration by strongly depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is in a condition where EV driving is possible, EV mode and
AUTO EV/HV mode can be switched by operating the switch.
Refer to the “Owner’s Manual” for limitations and more details.
