What are the detailed functions of the Corolla Hybrid?
1 Answers
The Corolla Hybrid features EV electric mode, ECO energy-saving mode, and POWER dynamic mode. Below are the introductions to these three driving modes: EV Electric Mode: Press the EV button to enter a state where the vehicle is powered solely by the electric motor. This not only reduces exhaust emissions but also provides a unique driving experience. ECO Energy-Saving Mode: This mode achieves an ideal driving state, balancing practicality with environmental friendliness. POWER Dynamic Mode: Press the POWER button to instantly enhance throttle response sensitivity. Especially when driving on slopes or highways, this mode delivers powerful acceleration. Braking Energy Recovery System: Hybrid vehicles are equipped with a core component called the braking energy recovery system. When you release the accelerator or lightly press the brake pedal, the traditional braking system is not engaged. Instead, the braking energy recovery system provides braking force while converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery. During gentle deceleration, a significant amount of braking energy can be recovered and converted into electricity for vehicle use. However, during hard braking, much of the kinetic energy is wasted as useless heat.
