uuWhen Driving uHigh Voltage Battery
Driving
High Voltage Battery
The High Voltage battery gradually discharges when the vehicle is not in use. As a
result, if your vehicle is parked for an ex tended period of time, the battery level may
get low. Keeping your vehicle’s battery le vel low can shorten the battery life. To
maintain the battery, drive your vehicle fo r more than 30 minutes to recharge the
battery at least once every three months.
To help maintain the battery life, when parking under the direct sunlight during
summer, try find a shaded area.
