Plug-in Hybrid EV SystemGeneral information 2-3

Motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator.Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive battery. zIf you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal during driving, a braking force that equivalent to engine braking of a combusti
on engine vehicle
will be generated. Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), effectiveness of the regenerative
braking is get-
ting strong. Shift the selector lever into “B” (
BRAKE) position according to the driving condition.
zRegenerative brake force increases with the foot brake force when the brake pedal is depressed. zIf a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid EV system, or if the
ABS and/or the ASC have been activated, the regenerative braking
will be
restricted. The foot brake will still operate.

zEven when the vehicle is driving in EVdrive mode, it may be automaticallychanged to series hybrid mode or parallelhybrid mode in the following cases:•The plug-in hybrid EV system is too hotor too cold.
•Quick acceleration is applied.•The air conditioner is operating.•The accelerator pedal is depressed hardon an uphill road or expressway.•In cold weather•The vehicle has not been refueled for along time.•The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are morecases where EV drive mode is automati-cally changed to series or parallel hybridmode. zEven while the vehicle is stopped, theengine may automatically be started in thefollowing cases:•The drive battery level is low.
