2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid - Plug-in hybrid system (41 pages)
Download Plug-in hybrid system
Manual Description
The plug-in hybrid system is a system that has features both, ● Electricity received by charging an external power, source can be used, and the vehicle can also be driven an, electric vehicle by driving over certain distances* using only.
(traction battery) becomes low, vehicle automatically, controlled in such a way that it can be driven as a hybrid vehicle through the joint use gasoline engine, *: The driving range will vary in accordance with conditions such as vehicle speed, the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid battery (traction battery) and the usage of the air conditioning system, engine may also be used simultaneously accordance with driving.
Driving using only the electric motor (traction motor) possible, (excluding certain situations, such as when accelerating suddenly), but if the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low, EV mode will be canceled, in order to prolong EV mode driving, observe following, ● Check the EV driving range using energy monitor.
● Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden deceleration, be, if you repeatedly accelerate, the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge will deplete quickly, start, depending on acceleration vehicle speed, ● Restrain your speed as much as possible.
Range will reduce considerably high speeds, the vehicle can be used in the same way standard hybrid, in HV mode, controls are primarily carried out follows, ● The gasoline engine stops when vehicle stopped.
● During start off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives, ● During normal driving, the gasoline engine electric motor, (traction motor) are controlled effectively, vehicle, electric motor (traction motor) operates as an electrical generator to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● When the accelerator pedal is depressed heavily, drive force, from both the gasoline engine and electric motor (traction, the electric motor (traction motor) charges hybrid battery, the EV driving range can be extended by actively using.
Regenerative braking to store electricity hybrid battery, moreover, as fuel consumption is also reduced when HV, mode, the regenerative braking system can be used effectively, the modes can also be switched using EV/HV mode selection.
The vehicle can be driven using, the gasoline engine may also be, the plug-in hybrid system features both EV mode HV mode, mode is automatically selected and the vehicle can be used.
If only a little electricity is remaining in hybrid battery (traction, and the gasoline engine will be, be used check which mode, the plug-in hybrid system is currently being driven in.
The EV drive mode indicator (, ) will illuminate when your vehicle, you can manually switch between EV mode and HV mode when you, want to conserve battery power in preparation for EV driving city.
*: The EV driving range may reduce even after switching HV mode, eV mode and HV mode will be, if there not enough charge, (traction battery) to allow EV driving, EV mode will not be selectable.
Switching to HV mode when driving on a highway when driving, uphill is recommended in order to conserve battery power, in order to drive EV mode, charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) an external.
When driving with the gasoline engine stopped, sound, which, changes in accordance with the driving speed, will be played order, to warn people nearby of the vehicle's approach.
