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 1 Electric 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.
