Displayed value

Carrying heavy luggage will lead

to poor electricity consumption.

Avoid carrying unnecessary lug-

gage.

A value for which a sufficient

level of driving performance can

be provided is estimated based

on the remaining charge of the

traction battery, the state of the

traction battery, the outside tem-

perature, etc., and is displayed

on the multi-information display.

(P.152)

When the outside temperature

is low, the traction battery output

may be decreased, causing the

possible driving distance to be

shorter. However, this is not a

malfunction. Charge the trac-

tion battery earlier than usual.

Tips for extending the

connected to the vehicle

Do not change the shift position

from P.

Make sure to read the fol-

lowing precautions before

charging the traction bat-

tery.

In the unlikely event that the

charging cable has been dam-

aged, the shift position may

change from P to another position

and the vehicle could move, pos-

sibly leading to an accident.

■Safety functions

■Charging precautions

●The EV system will not start while

the charging cable is attached to

the vehicle, even if the power

switch is operated.

This vehicle has been designed to

allow charging from an external

power source using an AC

charging cable for exclusive use

with standard household AC out-

lets.

●If the charging cable is connected

while the “READY” indicator is illu-

minated, the EV system will stop

automatically and driving will not

be possible.

However, the vehicle differs

greatly from standard household

electrical goods in the following

ways, and incorrect usage could

cause fire or electric shock, possi-

bly leading to death or serious

injury.
