172 4-2. Driving procedures ■Switching to EV drive mode when the gasoline engine is cold If the hybrid system is started while the gasoline engine is cold, the gasoline engine will start automatically in order to warm up. In this case, you will become unable to switch to EV drive mode. After the hybrid system has started and the “READY” indicator has illuminated, press the EV drive mode switch before the gasoline engine starts to switch to EV drive mode. ■Automatic cancelation of EV drive mode When driving in EV drive mode, the gasoline engine may automatically restart in the fol- lowing situations. When EV drive mode is canceled, a buzzer will sound and the EV indi- cator will flash 3 times and go off. ●The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low. The remaining battery level indicated int he “Energy Monitor” screen is low. (P. 97) ●Vehicle speed is high. ●The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill etc. When it is possible to inform the drivof automaer tic cancelation in advance, a prior notice screen will appear on the multi-information display. ■Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode EV drive mode’s possible driving distance ranges from a few hundred meters to approxi- mately 1.3 mile (2 km). However, depending on vehicle conditions, there are situations when EV drive mode cannot be used. (The distance that is possible depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] level and driving conditions.) ■Fuel economy The hybrid system is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during normal driving (using the gasoline engine and elecic trmotor [traction motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel economy. WARNING ■Caution while driving When driving in EV drive mode no engine noise is made. As such, pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people and vehicles in the surrounding area may not be aware of the vehicle starting off or approaching them. Therefore, take extra care while driving even if the vehicle proximity notification system is active. ES300h_OM_OM33B71U_(U)
