Before driving
For details on ions that are displayed during route guidance, refer to “Map
Screen” or “Starting Route Guidance” in the “Navigation System Owner’s
Manual”.
“One Way”
Touch to display the driving range for a one-
way trip. (Displayed when route guidance is
not being used.)
“Climate Setting” Displays the driving range with the current
air conditioning settings and with the air
conditioning turned off.
Reachable Desti-
nation Guidance When a destination is set, or when Home is
registered, displays an estimation of
whether the destination can be reached on
the amount of charge remaining in the trac-
tion battery.
For details refer to the “Navigation System
Owner's Manual”.

■
Regenerative braking
During deceleration, kinetic energy from the vehicle is stored in the traction
battery for later use. This occurs while driving in D or B position when:
● The acceleration pedal is released
● The brake pedal is applied
■ 12-volt battery recharging
The traction battery automatically recharges the 12-volt battery when the EV
system is ON or while the traction battery is being charged from an electrical
receptacle.
If the vehicle is not used for one month or more, there is a possibility the 12-
volt battery may discharge. If this occurs, follow the correction procedures.
(P. 470)
■ When not using the vehicle for an extended period of time

■Charging
Be sure you maintain the traction battery charge level for your driving needs.
If the traction battery fully discharges, the vehicle cannot be driven a\
t all.
Even when driving, keep early charging in mind. ( P. 53) If the amount of
charge remaining in the traction battery becomes low, search for a charging
station using the navigation system*.
* For details, refer to the “Navigation System Owner's Manual”.
■ Driving Range
Based on the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery, the air-con-
ditioning system mode and so forth, the calculated driving range is displayed
on the meter.
Depending on driving speed, road surface conditions, method of air-condi-
tioning use, and so forth, the actual driving distance may increase or
decrease. Keep early charging in mind.
■ Noise and vibrations specific to an electric vehicle
Because an electric vehicle does not have the engine noise or vibrations
that a conventional vehicle has, the driver may not notice that the ready indi-
cator is illuminated and the vehicle is in a drivable condition. For safety rea-
sons, always shift the shift position to P and apply the parking brake when
parking the vehicle.
After starting the EV system, the following noises and vibrations may occur.
These noises and/or vibrations are not signs of a malfunction. For example:
● Motor sounds coming from the motor compartment.
● Electrical relay sounds may be heard from the traction battery when the
EV system starts or stops.
● Sounds may be heard from the transmission and its surrounding area
when the EV system starts or stops.
● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when you depress the
brake pedal or release the accelerator pedal.
● Motor sounds may be heard when accelerating suddenly.
● Operational and motor sounds may be heard when the brake pedal is
depressed.
● The electric cooling fans in the front of the vehicle may be heard.
● Air conditioning operation sounds may be heard.
