Energy flow
The hybrid system informs the drivers its energy flow in various operating modes. While driving, the current energy flow is specified in 11 modes.
Vehicle stop

A: Idle Mode
The vehicle is stopped.
(No energy flow)
EV propulsion

A: Electric Mode
Only the motor power is used to drive the vehicle.
(Battery → Wheel)
Power assist

A: Hybrid Mode
Both the motor and the engine power are used to drive the vehicle.
(Battery & Engine → Wheel)
Engine only propulsion

A: Engine Mode
Only the engine power is used to drive the vehicle.
(Engine → Wheel)
Engine generation

A: Charging
When the vehicle is stopped, the high-voltage battery is charged up by the engine.
(Engine → Battery)
Regeneration

A: Charging
The high-voltage battery is charged up by the regenerative brake system.
(Wheel → Battery)
Engine brake

A: Engine Braking
The engine braking is used to decelerate the vehicle.
(Wheel → Engine)
Power reserve

A: Charging
The engine is simultaneously used to drive the vehicle and to charge up the high-voltage battery.
(Engine → Wheel & Battery)
Engine generation/motor drive

A: Charging
The engine charges up the high-voltage battery. The motor power is used to drive the vehicle.
(Engine → Battery → Wheel)
Engine generation/regeneration

A: Charging
The engine and regenerative brake system charges up the high-voltage battery.
(Engine & Wheel → Battery)
Engine brake/regeneration

A: Charging
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

A: 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.
