Enhancements to Engine Operation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
While not unique to the Two-Mode hybrid vehicle, the following modes of operation benefit from expanded operational ranges. Expanded operational range is possible because the drive motor generators can be utilized to smooth driveline disturbances that would be objectionable without the intervention of the drive motor generator.
