HOW DOES A HYBRID

ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK

The system uses regenerative charging

during engine braking.

It switches the engine off when your

vehicle is coasting at a speed less than the

engine stop speed that you have set. See

Setting the Engine Stop Speed (page

DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS

Regenerative charging results in a greater

degree of engine braking.

Engine braking further increases following

a brake pedal press. This is normal.
