Plug-in hybrid system features
The plug-in hybrid system is a system excellent in both eco-
nomical efficiency of electric vehicles and practicality of Plu g
in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
 EV driving can be performed using electricity charged from an
external power source.
*
If the amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid battery (t rac-
tion battery) becomes low, the vehicle is automatically controlled
in such a way that it can be driven as a Plug in Hybrid Electri c
Vehicle through the joint use of the gasoline engine.
*: The EV driving range will vary in accor dance with conditions such as
vehicle speed, the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid bat tery
(traction battery) and the usage of the air conditioning system . The gas-
oline engine may also be used si multaneously in accordance with driv-
ing conditions.

Plug-in hybrid system
The plug-in hybrid system oper-
ates in the following modes.
The multi-information display can
be used to check which mode the
plug-in hybrid system is currently
being driven in. (P.160)
■EV mode
When a sufficient amount of
electricity is remaining after
charging
*1, EV driving is per-
formed using electricity stored in
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
*2
When in EV mode, the EV drive
mode indicator illuminates.
*1: The amount of remaining charge can be checked on the SOC
(State of Charge) gauge.
( P.165)
*2: Depending on the situation, EV
driving may be canceled and
both gasoline engine and electric
motor are used. ( P.82)
■AUTO EV/HV mode
Normally, the electricity stored
in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is used for EV driving.
However, when more power is
required, such as for driving
uphill or accelerating suddenly,
the gasoline engine starts and
provides powerful acceleration
by strongly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is in a condi-
tion where EV driving is possi-
ble, EV mode and AUTO EV/HV
mode can be switched by oper-
ating the switch. ( P.78)
When in AUTO EV/HV mode, the
AUTO EV/HV mode indicator illumi-
nates.
■HV mode
When in HV mode, the vehicle is
driven using both the gasoline

engine and electric motor.
(P.81)
• If electricity needed for EV driving in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode is not remaining,
the operation mode will be
automatically switched to HV
mode.
• The operation mode can be switched to HV mode at any
timing by operating the switch
to keep electricity for EV driv-
ing etc.
* ( P.78). Switching
to HV mode when driving on a
highway or when driving uphill
is recommended in order to
conserve battery power.
When in HV mode, the HV drive
mode indicator illuminates.
*: The EV driving range may reduce even after switching to HV mode.
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charge mode ( P.79)
Electricity generated in the gas-
oline engine can be charged in
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) by switching to the hybrid
battery (traction battery) charge
mode when electricity needed
for EV driving is not remaining.
*
• The system may not be able to switch to the hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge
mode due to the state of the
plug-in hybrid system.
( P.80)
• Charging time differs depend- ing on the driving state of the
vehicle when driving in hybrid
battery (traction battery)
charge mode.
When in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode, the hybrid
battery charge mod e indicator illu-
minates.
*: When in the hybrid battery (trac- tion battery) charge mode, the
hybrid battery can be charged
while driving. Ho wever, the gaso-
line engine runs to charge the
battery and fuel consumption
becomes higher compared with
driving in HV mode.
The plug-in hybrid system oper-
ation modes can be switched
using the switches.
■Switching the plug-in
