Continuous Idling Mode: Notes
The continuous idling mode is a mode that the engine is forcibly started for a case such as vehicle inspection. The continuous idling mode can be activated by the following procedures.
NOTE:
- When the continuous idling mode is activated, "SAVE" is displayed in the combination meter.
- Racing is possible only when the remaining drive battery level is 84% or less, and the temperature of the drive battery is 0°C (32°F) or more. The remaining drive battery level can be checked by the PHEV-ECU data list item No. 2600 "State of charge for control", and the temperature can be checked by the item No. 2300 "Battery cell minimum Temperature". If the remaining drive battery level is 20% or less, the electrical load for power generation increases. When the temperature of the drive battery is low, the temperature can be increased by the charging with the battery charge mode or on board charger.
