When Hold is activated, the battery level is maintained while driving and can instead be used at a later time, e.g. when driving in city traffic. Less battery and more fuel is used to prevent the battery level from decreasing.
However, during heavier acceleration, when the car is heavily loaded, driving uphill or towing, the hybrid battery is used and this will affect the battery level. This behaviour is part of the car’s design and the purpose is to provide unaffected performance at any time.
