Plug-in hybrid system features
The plug-in hybrid system is a system excellent in both economical
efficiency of electric vehicles and practicality of Plug in Hybrid Elec-
tric Vehicles.
EV driving can be performed using electricity charged from an external
power source.
*
If the amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) becomes low, the vehicle is automatically controlled in such a
way that it can be driven as a Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle through
the joint use of the gasoline engine.
*: The EV driving range will vary in accordance with conditions such as vehicle
speed, the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid battery (traction battery)
and the usage of the air conditioning system. The gasoline engine may also be
used simultaneously in accordance with driving conditions.

Plug-in hybrid system
The plug-in hybrid system oper-
ates in the following modes.
The multi-information display can be
used to check which mode the plug-in
hybrid system is currently being driven
in. ( P.166)
QEV mode
When a sufficient amount of elec-
tricity is remaining after charging*1,
EV driving is performed using elec-
tricity stored in the hybrid battery
(traction battery).*2
When in EV mode, the EV drive mode
indicator illuminates.
*1: The amount of remaining charge can
be checked on the SOC (State of
Charge) gauge. ( P.172)
*2: Depending on the situation, EV driv-
ing may be canceled and both gaso-
line engine and electric motor are
used. ( P.90)
QAUTO EV/HV mode
Normally, the electricity stored in
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is used for EV driving. However,
when more power is required, such
as for driving uphill or accelerating
suddenly, the gasoline engine
starts and provides powerful accel-
eration by strongly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is in a condition
where EV driving is possible, EV
mode and AUTO EV/HV mode can
be switched by operating the
switch. ( P.86)
When in AUTO EV/HV mode, the
AUTO EV/HV mode indicator illumi-
nates.
QHV mode
When in HV mode, the vehicle is
driven using both the gasoline
Plug-in hybrid system oper-
ation mode

engine and electric motor. (P.89)
• If electricity needed for EV driv-
ing in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV
mode is not remaining, the oper-
ation mode will be automatically
switched to HV mode.
• The operation mode can be
switched to HV mode at any tim-
ing by operating the switch to
keep electricity for EV driving
etc.
* (P.86). Switching to HV
mode when driving on a highway
or when driving uphill is recom-
mended in order to conserve bat-
tery power.
When in HV mode, the HV drive mode
indicator illuminates.
*: The EV driving range may reduce
even after switching to HV mode.
QHybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charge mode (P.87)
Electricity generated in the gasoline
engine can be charged in the hybrid
battery (traction battery) by switch-
ing to the hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode when elec-
tricity needed for EV driving is not
remaining.
*
• The system may not be able to switch to the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode due to
the state of the plug-in hybrid
system. (P.88)
• Charging time differs depending
on the driving state of the vehicle
when driving in hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge mode.
When in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charge mode, the hybrid battery
charge mode indicator illuminates.
*: When in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode, the hybrid bat-
tery can be charged while driving.
However, the gasoline engine runs to
charge the battery and fuel consump-
tion becomes higher compared with
driving in HV mode.
The plug-in hybrid system opera-
tion modes can be switched using
the switches.
QSwitching the plug-in hybrid
system operation modes
Press the AUTO EV/HV mode
switch or EV/HV mode selection
switch to change modes as the fol-
lowing table shows.
When in EV mode, the EV drive mode
indicator illuminates.
When in AUTO EV/HV mode, the
AUTO EV/HV mode indicator illumi-
nates.
When in HV mode, the HV drive mode
indicator illuminates.

*: If there is not enough charge remain-
ing in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) to allow EV driving, AUTO
EV/HV mode will not be selectable.
EV/HV mode selection switch
*: If there is not enough charge remain-
ing in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) to allow EV driving, EV mode will not be selectable.
QSwitching to the hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge mode
Press and hold the EV/HV mode
selection switch.
Take your hand off the switch once the
hybrid battery charge mode indicator
starts to blink.
The hybrid battery charge mode indica-
tor illuminates when the switch to
hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
mode is complete.
When the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is fully charged
*, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge mode is auto-
matically canceled and the operation
mode will be switched to HV mode.
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge mode will be canceled by press-
ing AUTO EV/HV mode switch or
EV/HV mode selection switch.
*: The maximum charge amount in the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge mode is approximately 80%
of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power
source.

tion mode cannot be changed

multi-information display when the switch is pressed.)
OWhen electricity needed for EV driving is not remaining (when in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode)
OWhen the traction battery is almost completely charged (hybrid battery
[traction battery] charge mode)
QWhen switching from EV mode to another mode using the switch
OAfter switching from EV mode to HV
mode or hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) charge mode and the power
switch is turned off, the system returns to EV mode the next time the
vehicle is started.*
OAfter switching from EV mode to
AUTO EV/HV mode and the power switch is turned off, the system does not return to EV mode the next time
the vehicle is started.*
*: If there is not enough charge remain-
ing in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) to allow EV driving, the system
switches to HV mode.
QHybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
OThe following may occur to protect the system, etc.• Cannot switch to hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode or cannot cancel it• Gasoline engine does not start or
stops even after switching to hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
OIf a load to the system is large, such as when the power consumption of the air conditioning system is large or
when the temperature of the engine coolant is high, it may take longer time than usual to charge using the hybrid
battery (traction battery) charge mode, or charging to the hybrid bat-tery (traction battery) may not be per-
formed.
QWhen in EV mode
In EV mode, EV driving (driving
using only the electric motor)* is
possible. However, depending on
the situation, EV driving may be
canceled and both gasoline engine
and electric motor are used
( P.90). Also, if a little electricity is
remaining in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), HV mode is auto-
matically selected. To drive in EV
mode long, observe the followings.
 Avoid sudden acceleration and
sudden deceleration, and be
sure to drive smoothly.
If you repeatedly accelerate, the

WARNING
QWhen using the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
Observe the following precautions
when using the hybrid battery (trac- tion battery) charge mode while park-ing.
Failure to do so may lead to death or serious health hazard, as the gasoline engine operates when in the hybrid
battery (traction battery) charge mode.
ODo not stop the vehicle near flam-
mable materials.
ODo not use the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode in a closed area where ventilation is insufficient, such as in a garage or
area with snow buildup.
