  • When the engine coolant temperature is low: The system will be limited until engine performance returns to normal.
  • When driving uphill: The system will be limited in power build-up when driving uphill because engine torque is limited.
  • When using Sport mode: The system will be limited depending on the gear position.
  • When the accelerator pedal is depressed deeply for several seconds: The system will be limited, considering that the driver wants to accelerate.
