HYBRID SYSTEM OPERATIONYour Hybrid vehicle combines the power of a gasolineengine and electric motors to minimize fuel consumptionand emissions. This vehicle requires no special fuels andnever has to be plugged in to recharge. Understanding

the unique characteristics of your vehicle will help ensuremaximum performance and best fuel economy from yourvehicle.

Your Hybrid vehicle is also equipped with two electricalvoltage systems. A 12-Volt system which is used to powerthe conventional electrical system and a high voltagesystem which is used to power the motors in the 2-ModeHybrid Transmission as well as other high voltage sys-tem components.

2-Mode Hybrid Transmission OperationThe 2-Mode Hybrid Transmission combines two electricmotors with four fixed gear ratios within a single trans-mission housing. The electric motors can be used forelectric-only propulsion, boosting the internal combus-tion engine or providing regenerative braking.

The 2-Mode Hybrid Transmission will select one of thefour fixed gear ratios, or operate as an electrically vari-able transmission (variable ratio or EVT) depending ondriver input, vehicle speed and loading.

Unlike a conventional transmission, thTransmission can propel the vehicle wrunning during low speed, light load oonly mode).

Hybrid Vehicle Operating CharacteristicsYour Hybrid vehicle operates differently compared to aNon-Hybrid vehicle. The following is a description of themajor differences:

Regenerative BrakingYour Hybrid vehicle has a Regenerative Braking System

(RBS). The RBS increases the fuel economy of the vehicle,particularly in stop-and-go city traffic. The electric mo-tors which propel the vehicle forward can operate asgenerators when braking. The RBS recharges the highvoltage battery under certain braking conditions by re-capturing energy that would otherwise be lost while

braking. The electric power that is geninto the high voltage battery for later when acceleration is desired.

The RBS uses conventional hydrauli

regenerative braking, or a combinatiohicle. The Hybrid power gauge indicaregenerative braking. If the system detditions while braking, mainly friction ivehicle. The RBS can result in extehydraulic service brakes; however, all iuled maintenance, and service intervaservice brakes must be followed.

NOTE: Lighter brake pedal efforts apedal travel are normal Hybrid brake othe first brake application. After start-u

brake application, the brake system un

function. The brake pedal has a lighter effort (longertravel) than during normal driving but provides fullpower assist.

Climate Control (HVAC System)

Your Hybrid vehicle uses automatic temperature control(ATC) HVAC system with specialized components. ThisHVAC system utilizes a humidity sensor, cabin infrared(IR) sensor, sun sensor, and ambient temperature sensorto choose operation mode and control cabin comfort.Your Hybrid vehicle also uses a heater auxiliary pump toprovide heat to the cabin while the vehicle is in electricmode. The electrically driven AC compressor is notconnected to the engine like a standard gas vehicle. These

components allow the control to operate the HVACsystem in a very efficient manner to save fuel.

NOTE: It is recommended the vehicle be operated withthe air conditioning (AC) on in high ambient tempera-tures as the high voltage battery is cooled by the cabin air.

Driving To Achieve Maximum Fuel Your fuel economy should improve Hybrid vehicles break-in period. As wfuel economy can be significantly imdriving style and accessory usage. For

in mind the following:

Tire InflationKeep tires properly inflated and onlymended size. Refer to Tire and LoaPlacard under Tires Safety Informatioyour Owners Manual.

Driving Style

Aggressive driving increases the amoquired to move your vehicle. In geeconomy is achieved with mild to modand deceleration.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING Y


14/138

Moderate braking is particularly important since it al-lows you to maximize the energy converted and storedfrom the vehicles momentum by the Regenerative Brak-ing System (RBS).

Additional Tips: Observe posted speed limits.

Do not carry extra loads, when it is not necessary.

Perform all scheduled maintenance.

45/138

Automatic ControlThe ATC system can maintain a steady comfort level invarious weather conditions with a simple operation:

Select your desired temperature setting by pressingthe + or - side of the Temp rocker switches. A digital

temperature setting for driver and passenger will bedisplayed. The ATC system uses an infrared sensorlocated in the overhead console to measure the tem-perature of the driver and passengers. Based on thesensor input, the system will automatically controlcomfort by varying the temperature, fan speed, andmode. This maintains a comfortable temperature, evenunder changing conditions. It is important that objects

are not blocking the infrared sensor. It is also impor-tant that objects are not used that may scratch ordamage it in any way.

The Hybrid vehicle also uses a humidity sensor todetermine cabin comfort, improve system efficiency,

and reduce window fogging. This behind the rearview mirror. Do not bsensor. Use care not to spray the sencleaner.

When adding coolant (antifreeze):

The manufacturer recommends using MOPARAntifreeze/Coolant 5 Year/100,000 Mile FormulaHOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology).

Mix a minimum solution of 50% HOAT coolant (anti-freeze) and distilled water. Use higher concentrations(not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below -34F(-37C) are anticipated.

Use only high purity water such as distilled or deion-ized water when mixing the water/TPIM coolant
