SULEV
1-1
Section 1
SULEV standards are about 75% more stringent than ULEV and
nearly 90% cleaner than LEV for smog forming exhaust gases.
SULEV vehicles will emit less than a single pound of hydrocarbons
during 100,000 miles of driving (about the same as spilling a pint of
gasoline).
ATPZEV vehicles use advanced technology capable of producing
zero emissions during at least part of the vehicles drive cycle.

Section 1
When starting off and traveling at low speeds, MG2 provides the
primary motive force. The engine may start immediately if the HV
battery State ofCharge (SOC) is low. As speed increases above 15 to
20 mph the engine will start.
When driving under normal conditions the engines energy is divided
into two paths; a portion drives the wheels and a portion drives MG1 to
produce electricity. The HV ECU controls the energy distribution ratio
for maximum efficiency.
During full acceleration power generated by the engine and MG1 is
supplemented by power from the HV battery. Engine torque combined
with MG2 torque delivers the power required to accelerate the vehicle.
During deceleration or braking the wheels drive MG2. MG2 acts as a
generator for regenerative power recovery. The recovered energy from
braking is stored in the HV battery pack.
Hybrid Control
Modes
The hybrid system uses various modes to achieve the most efficient
operation in response to the driving conditions. The following graphics
review each of these modes.
Starting Out When starting out under light load and light throttle only MG2 turns
to provide power. The engine does not run and the vehicle runs on
electric power only. MG1 rotates backwards and just idles; it does not
generate electricity.
Starting Out
The electric power supply
from the HV battery to MG2
provides force to drive
the wheels.

Principles of Operation
Normal Driving Above approximately 14 mph during normal lowspeed driving the
engine runs and provides power. MG2 turns and runs as a motor and
provides an electric assist. MG1 is turned in the same direction by the
engine as a generator and provides electricity for MG2.
Normal Driving
While the engine drives
the wheels via the
planetary gears, MG1 is
driven via the planetary
gears to supply electricity
to MG2.

Acceleration and supplements engine power. The HV battery provides electricity to MG2.
High Speed Cruise MG1 also receives electrical power from the HV battery and turns in the
reverse direction to create an overdrive ratio for maximum speed.

Deceleration and As soon as the accelerator pedal is released by the driver MG2 becomes
Braking a generator. MG2 is turned by the drive wheels and generates
electricity to recharge the HV battery. This process is called
Regenerative Braking. As the vehicle decelerates, the engine stops
running and MG1 turns backwards to maintain the gear ratio.
When the brake pedal is depressed most of the initial braking force
comes from Regenerative Braking and the force required to turn MG2
as a generator. The hydraulic brakes provide more stopping power as
the vehicle slows.
Deceleration and
Braking
When the vehicle
decelerates, kinetic energy
from the wheels is
recovered and converted
into electrical energy and
used to recharge the HV
battery by means of MG2.

Principles of Operation
Reverse When the vehicle moves in reverse, MG2 turns in reverse as an electric
motor. The engine does not run. MG1 turns in the forward direction
and just idles; it does not generate electricity.
Reverse
MG2 rotates backwards to
move the vehicle in
reverse.The engine does
not run.
