EV/HEV Button

Pressing the [EV/HEV] button changes the plug-in hybrid system modes, between Electric (CD) mode and Hybrid (CS) mode.
Each time the mode is changed a corresponding indicator is displayed on the instrument cluster as follows.
Plug-in Hybrid Mode Indicator
• CD (Charge Depleting, Electric) mode

: The high-voltage (hybrid) battery is used to drive the vehicle.
• CS (Charge Sustaining, Hybrid) mode

: The high-voltage (hybrid) battery and gasoline engine is used to drive the vehicle.
Information
Even when the battery charging rate is high and driving in electric mode is possible, engine may turn on in some areas to protect the system.
The hybrid system gauge indicates whether the current driving condition is fuel efficient or not. • CHARGE : Shows that the energy made by the vehicle is being converted to electrical energy.
Press [PHEV] on the [Home] screen or the [All menus] screen and the menus related to plug-in hybrid ([ECO Driving], [Energy Information], [EV Range], [Charging Settings], [Charging Stations], [Gas Stations]) are displayed.
Inspection1.Turn the ignition switch OFF. 2.Disconnect the auto defogging connector. 3.Verify that the auto defogging actuator operates to the open position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 4. Verify that the auto defogging actuator operates to the close position when connected in reverse.
Inspection1.Turn the ignition switch OFF.2.Disconnect the intake actuator connector.3.Verify that the intake actuator operates to the fresh position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 4.Verify that the intake actuator operates to the recirculation position when connected in reverse.
