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.
HEV infotainment system
Press [HEV] on the [Home screen].
The Hybrid menu consists of two sections: [Fuel Economy], [Energy flow].
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)
