SPORT HYBRID SUPER HANDLING ALL-
WHEEL DRIVE
™
This vehicle uses both electric motors and a gasoline engine. A High Voltage battery powers
the electric motors. The High Voltage battery is recharged by an engine-driven generator and
regenerative braking.
The system automatically manages the engine and motors, switching between them or blending
them as appropriate. The gas engine will stop and start automatically during vehicle operation, as
needed to meet driving and battery conditions.
In addition to the High Voltage battery, this vehicle includes a standard 12-volt battery to power
the airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and other 12-volt systems.
Because of the many unique systems in this vehicle, you may hear some unfamiliar sounds. You
will soon recognize them as normal.
Your driving style heavily impacts fuel efficiency and driving range. Spirited acceleration, high-
speed driving, or heavy climate-control use can quickly reduce the High Voltage battery’s charge.
This can trigger the system to switch to the gasoline-powered engine.
