Energy flow

The hybrid system informs the drivers its energy flow in various operating modes. Whilst driving, the current energy flow is specified in 11 modes.

Vehicle stop

2C_HybridStop

The vehicle is stopped.

(No energy flow)

Electric mode

2C_HybridMotorDrive

Only the motor power is used to drive the vehicle.

(Battery → Wheel)

Hybrid mode

2C_HybridEngineNMotorDrive

Both the motor and the engine power are used to drive the vehicle.

(Battery & Engine → Wheel)

Fuel engine mode

2C_HybridEngineDrive

Only the engine power is used to drive the vehicle.

(Engine → Wheel)

Engine generation

2C_HybridBatteryCharging

The engine charges the high voltage battery according to the vehicle and surrounding conditions.

(Engine → Battery)

Regeneration

2C_HybridRegenerating

The high voltage battery is charged up by the regenerative brake system.

(Wheel → Battery)

Engine brake

2C_HybridEngineBrake

The engine braking is used to decelerate the vehicle.

(Wheel → Engine)

Power reserve

2C_HybridEngineDriveNCharing

The engine is simultaneously used to drive the vehicle and to charge up the high voltage battery.

(Engine → Wheel and Battery)

Engine generation/motor drive

2C_HybridMotorDriveNCharing

The engine charges up the high voltage battery. The motor power is used to drive the vehicle.

(Engine → Battery → Wheel)

Engine generation/regeneration

2C_HybridRegeneratingCharing

The engine and regenerative brake system charges up the high voltage battery.

(Engine and Wheel → Battery)

Engine brake/regeneration

2C_HybridEngineBrakeRegenerating

The engine braking is simultaneously used to decelerate the vehicle and to charge up the high voltage battery.

(Wheel → Engine and Battery)
