ing timer end time is set and the current time is
after the set end time.

tery is already charged to more than 80%. Confirm the charge percentage and if you need to charge the Li-ion battery more, change to the
desired charge setting.

depending on vehicle operation.
Long term ECO driving level
Long term ECO driving is indicated by ECO
TREE symbols. The longer the vehicle is operated
economically, the more segments of the large
ECO TREE symbol
2are displayed. When all of
the segments of the large ECO TREE symbol are
