PLUG-IN HYBRID SYSTEM
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY GAUGE
The Battery Gauge shows
the high voltage battery
state of charge.
When the gauge reads
empty, the vehicle should
be plugged in to charge
the high voltage battery
and to allow maximum
EV operation again.
HYBRID SOUNDS
With its electric propulsion capability and the absence of
traditional engine noises, the CT6 PLUG-IN may produce some
unique sounds and vibrations that you may find unfamiliar. These
hybrid sounds and vibrations are part of the normal operation of
the vehicle.
• The pedestrian alert noise generator feature emits a “static/
hissing” sound from the front of the vehicle to help warn
pedestrians that an electric propulsion vehicle is present.
• The engine may start or stop while the vehicle is stationary or
moving based on the driver's power demand or hybrid system
automatic controls. An engine “revving” noise and a slight vibra-
tion may result.
• Climate controls may run pumps, fans and electronic parts that
may produce an audible sound or slight vibration.
• The transmission motor may produce a futuristic “whine” sound
during acceleration, coasting or braking.
• During plug-in charging, cooling fans and pumps may auto-
matically turn on/off underhood and at the rear of the vehicle.
