Maintenance
Bright-metal maintenance
To remove road tar and insects,use a tar remover, not a scraper or
other sharp object.
To protect the surfaces of bright- metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preser-
vative and rub to a high luster.
During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, acceler-
ated rusting can occur on underbody
parts such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even
though they have been treated with
rust protection. Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after off-road driving and at the end
of each winter. Pay special attention
to these areas because it is difficult
to see all the mud and dirt. It will do
more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be
allowed to clog with dirt; trapped
water in these areas can cause rust-
ing.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum
wheels.
Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly
with water. Also, clean the
wheels after driving on salted
roads.
Do not wash the wheels with high-speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any cleaners con- taining acid or alkaline deter-
gents.
NOTICE
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forward
speed.
WARNING

H3
Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs or
EVs) are driven using a battery and
an electric motor. While general vehi-
cles use an internal combustion
engine and gasoline as fuel, electric
vehicles use electrical energy that is
charged inside the high voltage bat-
tery. As a result, electric vehicles are
eco-friendly in that they do not
require fuel and do not emit exhaust
gases.
Characteristics of Electric
Vehicles (EVs)
1. EVs are using the electrical ener-gy that is charged inside the high
voltage battery. In terms of air pol-
lution and greenhouse gas emis-
sions, EVs are cleaner than con-
ventional vehicles.
2. A 150 kW electric drive motor mated to a reduction gearbox
comprises the vehicle drivetrain.
This electric-only powertrain sig-
nificantly reduces engine room
noise and vibration while driving.
3. When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This helps to minimize
energy loss and increases vehicle
range.
4. When the state of charge (SOC) of the battery is low, the EV battery
can be recharged through several
different charging methods. Refer
to “Charging Information" later in
this section.
Information
What does regenerative braking do?
Regenerative braking uses the electric
motor when decelerating or braking
which converts vehicle motion (kinetic
energy) to electrical energy to charge
the high voltage battery.
Battery Information
The vehicle is composed of a highvoltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-
tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.
