When the vehicle is powered by the engine.
When decelerating your vehicle, the ISG gener-
ates electricity without engine power.
During the engine auto stop while decelerating,

(Battery indicator)
The segments in the battery indicator (16)
give an approximate indication of the
charge of the lithium-ion battery (for
SHVS) or high voltage battery (for Strong
hybrid system).
EXAMPLE
NOTE:
• The indicator gives an approximate indi-
cation. The indication may be delayed or
differ from the actual charge of the lith-
ium-ion battery (for SHVS) or high volt-
age battery (for Strong hybrid system)
under certain conditions, for example,
when the outside temperature is low.
• On models equipped with SHVS, when
the engine speed is low, deceleration
energy regenerating function may not
function.
