STARTING AND DRIVING
452
Charging of the car's hybrid battery is indicated in
three ways:
•
Different indicators on the charging cable's
control unit.
•
Indicator lamp in the car's charging socket.
•
A gauge on the instrument panel also shows
the battery's charge level.
While the hybrid battery is being charged, charg-
ing is also in progress for the car's starter battery.
If the hybrid battery's temperature is below
-10
º
C or above 40
º
C then it may mean that
some of the car's functions are changed or
unavailable because the capacity of the hybrid
batteries is reduced outside this temperature
range.
Electric operation is not possible if the tempera-
ture of the battery is too low or too high. If drive
mode PURE is then selected, the combustion
engine starts. Read more in the section "Drive
modes".
Charging with fixed control unit in
accordance with mode 3
10
In certain markets the control unit is installed
within a charging station connected to the mains
power circuit. In which case, the charging cable
has no control unit of its own. Instead, it has a
special connector to be used to connect the
charging cable to the charging station. Follow the
instructions at the charging station.
Charging with the petrol engine
The car generates current to the battery and the battery
is charged, e.g. when the brake pedal is pressed gently
or during engine braking down a hill.
The hybrid battery can also be charged by the
car's engine. The hybrid battery is recharged dur-
ing gentle braking with the brake pedal.
The hybrid battery is also recharged during
engine braking in gear position
B when e.g. trav-
elling downhill.
Read more in the sections "Gear positions for
automatic gearbox" and "Hybrid related informa-
tion in the driver display".
