POWER METER
This meter displays the actual traction mo-
tor power consumption
Aand the regen-
erative brake power provided to the Li-ion
battery
B.
The power meter is in a neutral state
3.
The white illuminated portion
1in the dis-
play moves right or lef t depending on de-
mand.
The white illuminated portion
1moves to
the right when power is provided to the
traction motor (Li-ion battery discharges). The white illuminated portion
1moves to
the lef t when power is generated and pro-
vided to the Li-ion battery by the regenera-
tive brake system (Li-ion battery charging).
The power meter also indicates if the
power provided to the motor is limited or
if regenerative braking is limited. When
power or regenerative braking is limited,
the illuminated segments on the display
are narrowed
2.
Regenerative braking is automatically re-
duced when the Li-ion battery is fully
charged to prevent the Li-ion battery from
becoming overcharged. Regenerative brak- ing is also automatically reduced when the
Li-ion battery temperature is high/low (indi-
cated by the red/blue zones on the Li-ion
battery temperature gauge) to prevent Li-
ion battery damage.
The more regenerative braking is reduced,
the more illuminated segments on the dis-
play are narrowed
2.
If the Li-ion battery charge is low, power
provided to the traction motor is reduced.
Motor output is also limited if the Li-ion
battery temperature is high/low (indicated
by the red/blue zones on the Li-ion battery
temperature gauge) or the Li-ion battery
charge level is low.
The more power provided to the traction
motor is reduced, the more illuminated
segments on the display are narrowed
2.
NOTE:
If the power meter is selected on the
trip computer, the meter is not dis-
played.
