How a Hybrid Works - When Does it Use Gas or Electric Mode?
Starting your Hybrid
When you first start your Toyota Hybrid, your vehicle will engage it's electric motor allowing you to save fuel. You won't hear the engine, the vehicle will display a READY light on the dashboard.
Accelerating and driving your Hybrid
Doing things like accelerating to pass another vehicle on the highway, or driving around the city uses both gas & the electric motor to power your Hybrid.
Braking and Stopping your Hybrid
When your brake in a Toyota hybrid vehicle, your electric motor takes over to slow it down and the vehicle stops using gas. The regenerative braking system converts your braking energy into electric energy to recharge the battery.
Reversing your Hybrid
When reversing your vehicle, the engine uses the electric motor to reverse at slow speeds.
