show objects.
• When in the front or the rear view display,
an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed

2.
• When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
of the camera detecting areas

3 will not appear
in the monitor.

The distance between objects viewed on
the Around® View Monitor differs from the
actual distance.

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear farther than
the actual distance.
For more information, refer to the “Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems (section 4)”
of your Owner’s Manual.
SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an electric shift
control system, providing smooth and easy shift
lever operation.

There are five shift positions for operating the
vehicle: P (PARK) , R (REVERSE) ,
N (NEUTRAL) , D (DRIVE) and B-Mode.
• P (PARK) – Activated by pushing
the P (PARK) switch on the shift lever when the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• D (DRIVE) – For normal driving, it is activated by moving the shift lever left and
down. The shift lever will then return to the center position.
• B-Mode – Engages the regenerative braking system more aggressively when
decelerating, helping to put energy back into the battery pack. To enter B-Mode,
the vehicle must be in D (DRIVE) and then move the shift lever to the D (DRIVE)
position again. The shift lever will then return to the center position.

ECO – Consumes less power and helps extend vehicle range.
• While in either D (DRIVE) or B-Mode, ECO can be activated by pressing the ECO
button on the right side of the steering wheel.
• While in ECO, there will be a reduced acceleration response.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.

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.

COLD WEATHER RANGE AND PARKING IN
EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER
COLD WEATHER RANGE


Vehicle range is reduced when the heater is used and the battery temperat\
ure drops
below 77°F (25°C).

Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temp\
erature is
below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity (heat pump, if so equipp\
ed) and affects vehicle
range more than using the heater at temperatures above 32°F (0°C)\
.
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.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of
your Owner’s Manual.
