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:
 
 
• 
  
T
 he Li-ion battery available charge is   
extremely low.
 
 
• T
 he Li-ion battery temperature is very low.
 
 
• 
  
T
 he temperature of the Electric Vehicle (EV) 
system is high (motor, inverter, coolant system, Li-ion battery, etc.).
 
 
• T
 he EV system has a malfunction.
    If the power limit ation indicator light is illuminated, follow the instructions provided o\
n 
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.
