uuFor Safe Driving uImportant Safety Precautions
Safe Driving
■Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
■Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
■Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regul arly scheduled maintenance.
■Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children left unattended in the vehicle may be injured if they activate one or more
of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the vehicle to move, resulting in a crash
in which the children and/or another pers on(s) can be injured or killed. Also,
depending on the ambient temperature, th e temperature of the interior may reach
extreme levels, which can re sult in injury or death.
Even if the climate control system is on, never leave children in the vehicle
unattended as the climate control system can shut off at any time.
■Handle high-voltage with care
Familiarize yourself with the charging instructions and warnings supplied in this
manual and on the quick reference card. If using a public charger, also observe the
charging station manufacturer's instructions.

uuGauges and Driver Information Interface uGauges
Instrument Panel
The meter shows the ratio between the
energy which has been consumed by the
climate control system ( CLIMATE) and the
energy which has been consumed by the
motor ( DRIVE).
As the climate control system consumes more
power, bars in the CLIMATE section increase
as bars in the DRIVE section decrease.
Likewise, as the motor consumes more power,
bars in the DRIVE section increase as bars in
the CLIMATE section decrease.
■Electricity Consumption Indicator (ENERGY USAGE)1Electricity Consumption Indicator (ENERGY USAGE)
Every few minutes the electricity consumption
indicator adjusts the readi ngs by one bar at a time.
If the energy consumptio n ratio is minimal, the
readings may not change.
If climate control system use is low, the CLIMATE
section may not display any bars.
