NEW SYSTEM FEATURES
APPROACHING VEHICLE SOUND FOR PEDESTRIANS
(VSP) SYSTEM
The VSP system helps alert pedestrians to the presence of the vehicle when it \
is being
driven at a low speed.
When the vehicle starts to move, it produces a sound. The sound stops when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) while accelerating.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” of your Owner’s Manual.
CARWINGS™/REMOTE FUNCTIONS* (if so equipped)
Vehicle telematic capabilities enable you to perform remote functions fro\
m a compatible
internet-enabled smart phone or personal computer such as:
Battery status – T he status of the battery can be checked even if you are not in the vehicle.
Unplugged status and charging status – A notification e-mail and/or text message can be
sent if the charge connector is not connected or if battery charging is stopped mid-charge.
Remote charge and remote climate control – Start battery charging or set a time to turn on your climate controls.
Li-ion battery warmer st atus - When the ambient temperature is low, the Li-ion battery
warmer operates automatically and an e-mail notification will be sent \
to remind you of
connecting your vehicle to a charging station.
POIs powered by Google™ - Allows you to search from locations near your vehicle’s current location, near a plotted destination, near the map’s scroll position or near a
searched city center.
*Remote functions are only available when the following conditions are m\
et: Optional C ARWINGS™ (if so equipped) subscription service has been established. Your vehicle and smart phone are in a compatible cellular phone coverage \
area and your personal computer is
connected to the internet.
For more information, refer to the “Charging (section CH)” of your Owner’s Manual and the “CARWINGS™

ESSE NTIAL INFORMATION
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%.
For more information, refer to the “Charging (section CH)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.

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.
The Li-ion battery heater does not operate if the available Li-ion batter\
y charge is less than approximately 30% and the charger is not connected to the vehicle. To help
prevent the Li-ion battery from freezing, do not leave the vehicle in an\
environment where
temperatures may go below -1°F (-17°C) unless the vehicle is connected to a charger.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” of your Owner’s Manual.
COLD WEATHER RANGE
Vehicle range may be reduced when the temperature drops below -4°F (-\
20°C).
Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temp\
erature is
below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity and affects vehicle range\
more than using the
heater at temperatures above 32°F (0°C).
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of
your Owner’s Manual.
