■
During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predomi-
nantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid
battery (traction battery) as neces-
sary.
■
When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
added to that of the gasoline engine
via the electric motor (traction
motor).
■
When braking (regenerative
braking)
The wheels operate the electric
motor (traction motor) as a power
generator, and the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is charged.
■
Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy
is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in
conjunction with the recharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
●
The accelerator pedal is released
while driving with the shift lever in D or
B.
●
The brake pedal is depressed while
driving with the shift lever in D or B.
■
EV indicator
The EV indicator comes on when the
vehicle is driven using only the electric
motor (traction motor) or the gasoline
engine is stopped.
■
Conditions in which the gasoline
engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops
automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
●
During gasoline engine warm-up
●
During hybrid battery (traction battery)
charging
●
When the temperature of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is high or low
●
When the heater is switched on
Depending on the circumstances, the
gasoline engine may also not stop auto-
matically in other situations.
■
Charging the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the
hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-
tery does not need to be charged from
an outside source. However, if the vehi-
cle is left parked for a long time the
hybrid battery (traction battery) will
slowly discharge. For this reason, be
sure to drive the vehicle at least once
every few months for at least 30 minutes
or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid battery
(traction battery) becomes fully dis-
charged and you are unable to start the
hybrid system, contact your Toyota
dealer.
■
Charging the 12-volt battery
■
After the 12-volt battery has dis-
charged or when the terminal has
been removed and installed during
exchange, etc.
The gasoline engine may not stop even
if the vehicle is being driven by the
hybrid battery (traction battery). If this
