1. About the QX60 HYBRID
This
hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) uses two types of batteries. One is a 12-volt battery that is the same as
the battery in vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The 12-volt battery is located in the front of
the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment. The other is the high-voltage battery for the traction
motor which propels the vehicle. The high-voltage battery is located under the third row seating with service
plug access through the cargo area storage bin.
When the high-voltage battery level is low, engine output is used to generate power from the traction motor
and charge the high-voltage battery. Additionally, the vehicle system can recharge the high-voltage battery
by converting driving force into electricity while the vehicle is decelerating or being driven downhill. This is
called regenerative charging.
