Inspection Mode Description

INSPECTION MODE

Description

- When the engine is warm and the Li-ion battery is sufficiently charged, the engine automatically stops when the vehicle is stopped. For this reason, when continuous engine operation is required, it is necessary to use inspection mode.
- When turning the vehicle wheels on a chassis dynamometer or similar equipment, it is necessary to use inspection mode to change the vehicle to suitable conditions.






CAUTION:
- *1: Inspection mode is canceled when the ignition switch is turned OFF. It is not canceled when the mode changed from CONSULT "EV/HEV" "ACTIVE TEST" mode to another mode. However, inspection mode 1 is temporarily canceled when the select lever is shifted from P position to D position.
- *2: Check the conditions listed below before using inspection mode 1.
- If maintenance mode 1 is engaged when the Li-ion battery level is low, then in order to engage clutch
1 and charge the battery from the engine, use CONSULT "EV/HEV" "DATA MONITOR" mode and check that the "HV BATTERY LEVEL" reading is 50% or more, or else use the "Li-ion battery state of charge" in the information display on the combination meter and check that the battery level is 50%
or more.
- Check that the engine coolant temperature is 70 �C (158 �F) or more.
- *3: When the select lever is in the P or N position, adjustments to the throttle position prevent the engine speed from exceeding 3,000 rpm.
