Possible driving distance when
driving in EV drive mode
EV drive mode's possible driving dis-
tance ranges from a few hundred
meters to approximately 1 km (0.6 mile).
However, depending on vehicle condi-
tions, there are situations when EV drive
mode cannot be used.
(The distance that is possible depends
on the hybrid battery [traction battery]
level and driving conditions.)
■
Fuel economy
The hybrid system is designed to
achieve the best possible fuel economy
during normal driving (using the gaso-
line engine and electric motor [traction
motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more
than necessary may lower fuel econ-
omy.
■
If "EV Mode Unavailable" is shown
on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode is not available. The
reason the EV drive mode is not availa-
ble (the vehicle is idling, battery charge
is low, vehicle speed is higher than the
EV drive mode operating speed range
or accelerator pedal is depressed too
much) may be displayed. Use the EV
drive mode when it becomes available.
■
If "EV Mode Deactivated" is shown
on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode has been automati-
cally canceled. The reason the EV drive
mode is not available (the battery
charge is low, vehicle speed is higher
than the EV drive mode operating speed
range or accelerator pedal is depressed
too much) may be displayed. Drive the
vehicle for a while before attempting to
turn on the EV drive mode again.
