Auto Stop Mode
This mark on the tachometer shows that the
engine is in Auto Stop mode which is a fuel saving
operation.
When the ignition key is turned off, the tachometer
needle will drop to OFF. If the driver’s door is
opened while in Auto Stop, a chime will sound.
Charge/Assist Gage
The charge/assist gage
displays the charge
(current) into and out of
the battery.
When the electric motor is assisting the engine as
in a maximum acceleration, the needle will move to
the Assist range. When the electric motor operates
as a generator to perform regenerative braking
while decelerating, the needle will move to the
Charge range. SeeRegenerative Braking on
page 119for more information. The needle will also
move into the Charge region if the hybrid control
system deems it is an efficient time to charge the
hybrid battery. If the hybrid battery or other hybrid
components are very hot or cold, the Charge and
Assist functions may be suspended until the
component temperatures are normal.
