Using the internal combustion engine
An advanced control system determines the
extent to which the car is driven on internal com-
bustion engine, electric motor or both in parallel.
The primary function is to use the engine or
motor and the available energy in the hybrid bat-
tery as efficiently as possible, with regard to the
characteristics of the different drive modes as
well as the driver's request for power via the
accelerator pedal.
There are also cases where temporary limitations
in the system, or functions governed by legal
requirements aimed at maintaining a low level of
total emissions for the car, may use the internal
combustion engine to a greater extent.
