POWER LIMITATION INDICATOR LIGHT
When the power limitation indicator light illuminates, power provided to the traction
motor is reduced.
This light illuminates in the following conditions:
• The Li-ion battery available charge is
extremely low.
• The Li-ion battery temperature is very low.
• The temperature of the Electric Vehicle (EV)
system is high (motor, inverter, coolant system, Li-ion battery, etc.).
• The EV system has a malfunction.
If the power limitation indicator light is illuminated, follow the instructions provided on
the Navigation display.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
LI-ION BATTERY
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is in the
normal range 1
when the display is 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.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES
The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge 1
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 2
indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion battery
is capable of storing.
The driving range 3
provides an estimated
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.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
