operating, which is normal.
After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the
ABS system is automatically performed when
the driver releases the brake pedal. An addi-
tional automatic test of the system may be
performed when the vehicle is traveling at a
low speed. During the test, the brake pedal
may feel as though it is pulsating.
Light braking charges the hybrid
battery
When the brakes are applied lightly, the elec-
tric motor braking function is used. This con-
verts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical
energy, which is used to charge the hybrid
battery. When the battery is being charged
with the electric motor braking function, this
will be indicated in the instrument panel.

When the battery is being charged with the electric
motor braking function, this will be indicated in the
instrument panel.
This function is active at speeds in the range
of 150-5 km/h (93-3 mph). When braking at
speeds outside of this range, or during harder
braking, the hydraulic braking system is used
to augment braking. This is indicated in the
instrument panel with the pointer down in the
red area.
