M Hybrid*
▼M Hybrid
M Hybrid uses the Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) with excellent power
generation efficiency to generate electricity from the kinetic energy generated when
the vehicle decelerates. The system uses th
e electrical power stored in the M Hybrid
battery, which is a large-capacity battery to improve driveability and fuel economy by
reducing engine load and providing motor assist. In addition, the ISG provides quiet
engine restarting after the engine is st opped by the i-stop function (idling stop).

Never touch a M Hybrid related part.
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock or burns causing
serious injury.
Never touch electrical wiring that may
be protruding into or outside of the
cabin:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock or burns causing
serious injury.
Never touch any area where
electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is
leaking from the area:
If any electrolyte from the M Hybrid
battery gets in the eyes or on the skin,
it could cause loss of vision or skin
reactions. In the unlikely event that
electrolyte comes into contact with the
eyes or skin, flush with large quantities
of water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention.
Do not come near the vehicle if
electrolyte is leaking from the M
Hybrid battery:
Even if the M Hybrid battery is
damaged, large quantities of
electrolyte will not flow out due to the
internal structure of the battery,
however, in the unlikely event that it
does, it will produce steam. The steam
contains properties that can irritate the
eyes and skin, and could cause acute
poisoning if absorbed.
Never approach objects that are on
fire or extremely hot:
Electrolyte in the M Hybrid battery may
cause a fire.
If the vehicle catches fire, extinguish
the fire using an ABC fire
extinguisher:
Only extinguish a fire with water when
a high volume of water is available
such as from a fire hydrant.
