• Hybrid driving: The vehicle is running
and in drive (D) or neutral (N). The
engine and the high voltage battery
provide power to the wheels.
• Regenerative braking: The vehicle is
running in drive (D) and is slowing
down. Power captured by the
regenerative braking system is sent
back to the high voltage battery.
Engine On Due To
The following conditions help explain why
the engine is on, and what you can do to
allow all electric operation.
• Drive power: The engine is on due to
accelerator pedal pressure or speed
control activation. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or switch off the
speed control to return to full electric
mode.
• High speed: The engine is on because
the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
full electric operation. Reduce the
speed to return to electric operation.
• Heater setting: The engine is on
because of the heater setting. Reduce
or turn off the heater setting to return
to electric operation.
• Neutral gear: The engine is on because
the vehicle is in neutral (N). Shift out
of neutral gear to return to electric
operation.
• Engine cold: The engine is on because
it is cold. The vehicle returns to electric
operation once the engine is sufficiently
warm.
• Battery charging: The engine is on to
charge the high voltage battery. The
vehicle returns to electric operation
once the battery is charged.
• Low gear: The engine is on because the
vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of low
gear to return to electric operation.
• Normal operation: The engine is on to
optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle
returns to electric operation when
possible.
• Engine braking active: The engine is on
to provide increased powertrain
braking. This can occur when you turn
on grade assist, when speed control is
on or when driving with your foot off
the accelerator pedal. Turning off
grade assist or speed control may
allow the vehicle to return to electric
operation.
• Battery temperature: The engine is on
due to a high or low high voltage
battery temperature. This is a normal
operating condition. The vehicle returns
to electric operation when possible.
• Drive mode: The engine is on due to the
drive mode selection. Select an
appropriate drive mode for electric only
operation.
ECO IDLE
WHAT IS ECO IDLE
Eco idle reduces fuel consumption when
your vehicle is in park (P) and idling for long
periods of time. Eco idle more efficiently
extends the use of features that are
powered by the high voltage battery when
your vehicle is stationary.
HOW DOES ECO IDLE WORK
Eco idle increases the engine idle speed
above normal for a short period of time to
efficiently charge the high voltage battery.
Note: Engine sound and vibration could be
more noticeable.
