Toyota Hybrid System; Energy Monitor - Toyota HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 Manual

Toyota hybrid system

Toyota hybrid system combines
power of a gasoline engine and a trac-
tion motor to minimize fuel consump-
tion and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the ve-
hicle runs optimally on a combination of
the gasoline engine and traction motor.
Since the gasoline engine charges the hy-
brid battery as needed, the battery does
not have to be charged from an outside
source like an electric vehicle.

tion of the display and screen.
