Normal hybrid operation dictates that the more powerful gasoline engine is used
upon acceleration from a stop, or under heavy acceleration conditions.
Sometimes
on acceleration from a stop, or when changing gears (and applying light accelerator), the motor will stall, and then it's always flooded.
Although the engine alone provides sufficient driving performance, even in sustained uphill driving, a permanent - magnet electric motor mounted between the engine and transmission provides power assistance under certain conditions, such as
initial acceleration from a stop.
In situations such
as acceleration from a stop or exiting corners, Performance Traction Management regulates torque delivery for the best possible launch.
An Eco switch on the lower left control area of the dash makes calibration changes and dulls the throttle a bit to reduce
aggressive acceleration from a stop, often the largest consumer of fuel.
Production commenced of the L110, the world's first transmission for rear - wheel - drive hybrid vehicles, which uses the world's first two - stage motor speed reduction device to achieve both
powerful acceleration from stop and high - speed cruising
Those who want
ample acceleration from stop lights and on freeway on - and off - ramps may be happier with the standard five - speed manual transmission than the optional four - speed automatic.
Traction Control System (TCS) Helps to keep driving wheels from spinning
during acceleration from a stop or during slow speeds by applying individual brakes alone or in combination with engine torque limitation to prevent wheel slip.
Both engine choices are paired to a newly developed Direct Shift 8 - Speed Automatic Transmission that enhances fuel efficiency, delivers a smooth ride at highway speeds, and
improves acceleration from a stop.
Acceleration from a stop is smooth and predictable — even when the gas engine turns on for supplemental power.
Acceleration from a stop isn't what I'd call dramatic.
Acceleration from a stop is smooth, though not particularly quick.
But just overcoming the inertia of the 4,000 - pound vehicle, and getting all the four - wheel - drive hardware spinning, soaks up considerable power during
acceleration from a stop.
Acceleration from stops or out of hairpins was peppy.
Acceleration from a stop or a roll is basically 911 Carrera - grade.
The only complaint I have is
the acceleration from a stop is slow, seems like it drags, between first and second gear.
Its performance was strong, and
acceleration from a stop was impressive.
This system seemed to contribute to the car's
acceleration from stop, and generally the car felt planted.
