Electric Launch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra and 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Upon the driver removing their foot from the brake pedal and depressing the accelerator, the vehicle will launch in electric-only mode. Hybrid Low 1-2 Clutch is locked and motor 2 provides output torque to the wheels. Under low speed driving conditions the vehicle operates in full-electric mode without starting the engine or using drive motor 1. DC power from the battery flows to the HPCM where it is converted into 3-phase AC power to drive motor 2. The auxiliary oil pump runs to provide oil to the transmission for lubrication and hydraulic control. The vehicle continues to operate in electric-only mode, until additional power is required to accelerate the vehicle. At that point the engine starts.
