Energy flow
The hybrid system informs the drivers its energy flow in various operating modes. During driving, the current energy flow is specified in 11 modes.
Vehicle stop
The vehicle is stopped.
(No energy flow)
EV propulsion
Only the motor power is used to drive the vehicle.
(Battery → Wheel)
Power assist
Both the motor and the engine power are used to drive the vehicle.
(Battery & Engine → Wheel)
Engine only propulsion
Only the engine power is used to drive the vehicle.
(Engine → Wheel)
Engine generation
When the vehicle is stopped, the high-voltage battery is charged up by the engine.
(Engine → Battery)
Regeneration
The high-voltage battery is charged up by the regenerative brake system.
(Wheel → Battery)
Engine brake
The engine braking is used to decelerate the vehicle.
(Wheel → Engine)
Power reserve
The engine is simultaneously used to drive the vehicle and to charge up the high-voltage battery.
(Engine → Wheel & Battery)
Engine generation/motor drive
The engine charges up the high-voltage battery. The motor power is used to drive the vehicle.
(Engine → Battery → Wheel)
Engine generation/regeneration
The engine and regenerative brake system charges up the high-voltage battery.
(Engine & Wheel → Battery)
Engine brake/regeneration
The engine braking is simultaneously used to decelerate the vehicle and to charge up the high-voltage battery.
(Wheel → Engine & Battery)
Start engine to avoid battery discharge
If the engine is not turned on with the ENGINE START/STOP button in ACC or ON for a while, the battery can be discharged. Please turn on the engine to prevent 12V battery from discharge.
