dictive deceleration support points
registered in the navigation system, the
engine braking force will be increased
after the accelerator pedal is released
according to the driving conditions to
more efficiently charge the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery).
Predictive SOC control
■
The following types of control are per-
formed based on data such as road
and traffic information during route
guidance by the navigation system to
help ensure that the vehicle efficiently
uses electricity.
 When there is a long downhill slope
along the route, the system reduces
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
level before reaching the slope to
help ensure charging capacity for
regenerative braking while travel-
ing downhill.
 When traffic congestion is pre-
dicted along the route, the system
helps ensure a certain battery level
before reaching congested roads to
reduce the frequency of starting the
engine to charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery) due to low battery
levels.
