- Page 2 1. Plug-in hybrid system Plug-in hybrid system features The plug-in hybrid system is a system excellent in both econom- ical efficiency of electric vehicles and practicality of hybrid vehi- cles. ● EV driving can be performed using electricity charged from an external power source.
- Page 3 1. Plug-in hybrid system Types of charging methods Charging from an external power source ■ This is a charging method used when charging from an AC outlet (120 V) with the AC charging cable equipped to the vehicle or charging at a public charging station. The charging start time (or departure time) and day can be set to carry out charging using the charging schedule at the desired date and time.
- Page 4 1. Plug-in hybrid system Plug-in hybrid system operation mode ■ EV mode When a sufficient amount of electricity is remaining after charging, EV driving is per- formed using electricity stored in the hybrid battery (traction battery). When in EV mode, the EV drive mode indicator illuminates.
- Page 5 1. Plug-in hybrid system HV mode ■ When in HV mode, the vehicle is driven using both the gaso- line engine and electric motor. • If electricity needed for EV driving in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode is not remain- ing, the operation mode will be automatically switched to HV mode.
- Page 6 1. Plug-in hybrid system Plug-in hybrid system operation mode selection switches The plug-in hybrid system operation modes can be switched using the switches. Switching the plug-in hybrid system operation modes ■ Press the AUTO EV/HV mode switch or EV/HV mode selection switch to change modes as the following table shows.
- Page 7 1. Plug-in hybrid system Switching to the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode ■ Press and hold the EV/HV mode selection switch.
