■ EV mode
When a sufficient amount of
electricity is remaining after
charging, EV driving is per-
formed using electricity stored
in the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
When in EV mode, the EV drive
mode indicator illuminates.

AUTO EV/HV mode
Normally, the electricity stored
in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is used for EV driving.
However, when more power is
required, such as for driving
uphill or accelerating suddenly,
the gasoline engine starts and
provides powerful acceleration
by strongly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is in a condition where EV driving is possible, EV
mode and AUTO EV/HV mode can be switched by operating the
switch.
When in AUTO EV/HV mode, the AUTO EV/HV mode indicator illumi-
nates.
