POWER METER
The power meter displays the traction motor
power consumption and the regenerative brake
power applied to the Li-ion battery.
When the battery is charged, power is generated
by the regenerative brake system and the central
dot
1 illuminates and the number of circles
increases to the left.
When the battery discharges and power is provided to the motor, the central dot
illuminates and the number of circles increases to the right.
The number of circles will increase or decrease depending on the Li-ion b\
attery
conditions. (Motor output is limited if the Li-ion battery temperature \
is too high or too
low or if the Li-ion battery level is low.)
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
