Plug-in Hybrid EV System

What is the Plug-in Hybrid EV System?

• In the EV Drive mode, the vehicle is driven only by the electric motors, just like an electric vehicle, over a certain distance, using the electricity stored in the drive battery. Once the drive battery charge is low or when powerful acceleration is needed, the vehicle operates in the Series Hybrid mode. When high-speed driving is needed, the vehicle is driven by the engine in the Parallel Hybrid mode.
• The high-performance motors greatly reduce noise and vibration while driving and provide powerful acceleration.
• The regenerative brake system automatically starts to charge the drive battery when the accelerator pedal is released.
• The battery can be charged via the AC230-240 V charge port. If your vehicle has an optional quick charge port, the battery can be charged at a CHAdeMO* charging station.

CHAdeMO is a quick charging standard for EVs that is promoted by Japan for adoption as an international standard.

EV Drive MODE
The vehicle is driven only by the motors using the electricity stored in the drive battery.

Parallel Hybrid Mode
In high-speed driving when the engine runs efficiently, the vehicle is driven by the engine and is assisted by the motors.

Series Hybrid Mode
Once the drive battery level is low or when powerful thrust is required such as during rapid acceleration or hill climbing, the vehicle is driven only by the motors using enginegenerated electricity.

Regenerative Brake System
Motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator.

Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive battery.

The intensity of regenerative brake can be selected from among two levels using the selector lever.

The intensity can be selected from among six levels using the paddles.

If a large regenerative braking force is applied by using the selector lever or the regenerative braking level selector (paddle), the brake lamps will be automatically illuminated.

EV System/Selector Lever Operation

Starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV System

Step 1 Ensure that the charge connector is disconnected from the vehicle.
Step 2 Ensure that the parking brake is applied.
Step 3 Depress the brake pedal completely.
Step 4 Press the power switch completely.
Do not release the brake pedal until the system has successfully started.
Step 5 Ensure that the indicator is illuminated.
Do not operate the selector lever until the indicator is illuminated. If the selector lever is operated while the indicator is still blinking, the system with not start.

Is Something Really Wrong?

• If the plug-in hybrid EV system cannot be started, return the operation mode to OFF. Wait for more than 10 seconds and then repeat the startup steps 1 to 5.
• If position D or R cannot be selected (display not changing to D or R ) using the selector lever when the indicator is illuminated, the brake pedal may not be depressed completely. Depress the brake pedal completely and then repeat the start-off steps 1 to 4 before selecting D or R .

Important Points!

• To enter the READY mode, press the power switch while holding down the brake pedal.
• To put the operation mode to OFF, press the switch once when the indicator lamp is blue (ON) or twice when the lamp is orange (ACC) while the brake pedal is released.

Operating the Selector Lever

To start the vehicle from a standstill, follow the steps below.

Step 1 Ensure that the indicator is illuminated.
You cannot shift into D or R even if you move the selector to those positions while the indicator is extinguished or blinking. The selected position display will not change to D or R , either.
Step 2 Depress the brake pedal completely.
Step 3 Move the selector lever to D or R .
Step 4 Ensure that the selected position display shows D or R.

Use position B when powerful braking is needed such as when driving down a steep hill.
Position B is only selectable from position D.

Warning!
While driving, do not put any object near the selector lever, which may be accidentally pushed against the selector, which may then move into N.

Drive mode switch

Operating the switch with the operation mode in ON, you can change the S-AWC drive mode.

The acceleration response capable of powerful acceleration and high steering performance allow for smooth and stable driving coming out of corners to realise agile driving.

GRAVEL| This mode is suitable mainly for driving on unpaved or rough roads. This mode provides 4WD high driving performance and stable cornering performance.
SNOW| This mode is chiefly suitable for the snow road. Suitability improves on a slippery road.
NORMAL| This mode can be used on both dry and wet roads. The distribution  of driving/braking torque to each wheel is automatically controlled according to the driving condition.
ECO| This mode can support eco-driving. The vehicle will slowly accelerate even when pressing the accelerator pedal.

Even if the S-AWC drive mode is selected, after turning the operation mode of the power switch OFF and turning to ON again, the S-AWC drive mode is set to “NORMAL”.

EV Switch

Pressing the switch with the operation mode in ON, you can drive the vehicle by using only the EV drive mode as much as possible, even if the accelerator pedal is roughly depressed. (EV priority mode)

SAVE/CHARGE mode switch

Pressing the switch with the operation mode in ON, you can change the drive battery mode in the order of SAVE, CHARGE, OFF, SAVE.

Battery save mode
To save the remaining power in the drive battery while driving, the battery save mode can be used.
When the battery save mode is activated, the engine will start in order to preserve the remaining power of the drive battery and the vehicle will operate in the series hybrid mode or the parallel hybrid mode depending on the remaining power in the drive battery.

Battery charge mode
To charge the drive battery while driving, the battery charge mode can be used. When the battery charge mode is activated, the engine will start to charge the drive battery to nearly full.
