"Hold" and "Charge" functions

Battery level sustained for later use.

This function retains the charge in the hybrid battery for the electric motor and saves available electrical current for use at a later time, such as when driving in an urban area or residential neighborhood. Hold is available regardless of the hybrid battery's charge level.

The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid driving with a discharged battery - in addition to reusing energy from e.g. regenerative braking, the combustion engine will be used more frequently to maintain the charge in the battery.

Engine charges hybrid battery.

This function charges the hybrid battery with the help of the combustion engine for increased use of the electric motor at a later time. This function is not available if the hybrid battery's charge level is already high.
