Auto Engine Stop/Start
The car will select the appropriate source of power depending on the drive mode you select.
As a result, the engine will automatically start or stop as needed to either charge the battery or provide supplemental power.
Under certain circumstances, the engine may turn on or, if it is already on, it may not turn off.
●You are going uphill or accelerating aggressively.●The climate control system is in heavy use.●The Ambient temperature is too hot or too cold.●The High Voltage Battery state of charge is very low.●The engine has not been sufficiently warmed up.●The vehicle is running a system check.
System Check
When the engine initially starts (between the time the POWER button is turned on and turned of f), the vehicle conducts a system check.●While the check is being conducted, the engine may periodically turn on and off. This, however, is normal.●The curved blue line in the POWER/CHARGE Gauge will not appear during the system check ( EV indicator may still turn on).●Once the engine starts, it will continue to run until the system reaches operating temperature.

■Electric motor
The degree to which the electric motor is being powered is displayed by the readings
on the POWER side.
When you depress the accelerator pedal, th e white needle on the gauge moves. The
curved blue line on the gauge shows the range within which only the electric motor
provides propulsion to the wheels. The length of this line varies depending on the
drive mode and the remaining power of th e High Voltage battery. When the white
needle exceeds the curved blue line, the engine starts and the curved blue line turns
white.
■Battery charge in progress
The degree to which the High Voltage battery is being charged is displayed by the
readings on the CHARGE side when coasting or during deceleration.
■POWER/CHARGE Gauge
1Electric motor
The power output of the elec tric motor is restricted
when the high voltage battery charge level is running
low (one segment on the gauge).
If you accelerate aggressively, the engine may start
even though the white needle has not exceeded the
curved blue line.
