ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

COLD WEATHER RANGE AND PARKING IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER

COLD WEATHER RANGE

Vehicle range is reduced when the heater is used and the battery temperature

drops below 77°F (25°C).

Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside

temperature is below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity (heat pump, if so equipped) and aects vehicle range more than using the heater at temperatures above 32°F (0°C).

PARKING IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER

Do not store the vehicle in temperatures below -13°F (-25°C) for over seven days.

If the outside temperature is -13°F (-25°C) or lower, the Li-ion battery may freeze, and it cannot be charged or provide power to run the vehicle.

Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional operating and feature information.

For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

QUICK CHARGE IN COLD WEATHER (if so equipped)

It may take more time to charge the Li-ion battery using the quick charger if the

vehicle is parked in a cold location (for example, 32°F [0°C]) for a long period of time.

The Li-ion battery temperature gauge can be used to estimate the approximate

time needed to charge the Li-ion battery to 80%.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES

LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The temperature of the Li-ion battery is in

the normal range within this zone.

The temperature of the Li-ion battery varies

with outside air temperature, road surface temperature, driving conditions and charging rate.

To protect the battery, power is reduced

when the temperature of the battery is too high or low. This does not indicate a malfunction.

LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES

The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge

displays the approximate available Li-ion battery power remaining to drive the vehicle. Recharge the Li-ion battery before these lights reach the bottom line.

The Li-ion Battery Capacity Level Gauge

indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion battery is capable of storing.

The driving range

distance that the vehicle can be driven before recharging is necessary. The driving range is constantly being calculated based on the amount of available Li-ion battery charge and the actual power consumption average.

Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional operating and feature information. For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
