Charging with the petrol engine
The car generates current to the battery and the battery
is charged, e.g. when the brake pedal is pressed lightly
or during engine braking down a hill.
The hybrid battery can also be charged by the
car's engine. The hybrid battery is recharged dur-
ing gentle braking with the brake pedal.
The hybrid battery is also recharged during
engine braking in gear position B when e.g. trav-
elling downhill.
