EVT Mode 2
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.
As vehicle speed increases, the system shifts to EVT Mode-2. EVT Mode 2 uses a compound split configuration to transfer power through the transmission during higher speed operating conditions such as highway cruising. Similar to EVT Mode 1, engine power is used to both generate electricity through the motors and provide output torque via the mechanical gearing in the transmission. A synchronous shift point allows the 2-Mode transmission to shift between EVT Mode 1 and Mode 2 without changing speed.
