Hybrid Lineartronic™ Continuously Variable Transmission Power Flow (Cvt Power Flow) - Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid 2014 Technicians Reference Booklet

2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid
Hybrid Lineartronic™ Continuously Variable
Transmission Power Flow (CVT Power Flow)
Conventional input of mechanical power flow through the CVT is from the engine to the Torque
Converter and to the Input Shaft of the Forward Clutch Drum or to the Sun Gear of the Planetary
Gear set.
For the purpose of this explanation only the Forward Gear range will be utilized.
Equipped with the Hybrid Motor, the CVT Power Flow can change to the input of mechanical
power coming from the Hybrid Electric Motor instead of from the engine. A combination of power
sources, the engine and the motor, will occur during Electric Motor Assist Mode.
Note: The 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid provides the following Modes of driving or charging:
• Engine Drive Mode
• Electric Motor Assist Mode
• Electric Vehicle Mode (EV Mode)
• D Charge Mode
• Regenerative Braking
Each of these Driving or Charging Modes can be displayed on the Multi-Function Display.
The Power Flow of the CVT will be covered in the following text along with the corresponding
Multi-Function Display of that Driving or Charging Mode.
