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
driving range
Possible driving distance varies
significantly depending on how
the vehicle is driven, road condi-
tions, the weather, the outside
temperature, usage conditions
