conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will affect the
required charging time and, in certain
situations, this may lead to a signi ficant
increase in the charging time.
Normal charging
Normal Charging can be performed at
home using either a household power
source such as a wall outlet or wall
box, or similar method (alternating
current). Additionally, charging can be
performed at a public charging facility
using a charger other than a quick
charger (direct current).
When charging is started after the
remaining high voltage battery power
warning indication/warning light turns
on, the time it takes to fully charge the
high voltage battery at a public AC
charging facility is about 5 hours. Using
a household power source for charging
will increase the charging time to fully
charge the high voltage battery.
For normal charging , the charging
timer function can be used to charge
automatically from start to finish.
For details on how to use the charging
timer function, refer to Charging
Settings on page 3-21.
Quick charging
When charging is started at a quick
charging station (DC with 50 kW or
higher) the high voltage battery can be
charged from a 20% to 80% battery
charge level in about 36 minutes. The
exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging , such as the type of charger,
battery condition, ch arging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will aff ect the
required charging time and, in certainsituations, this may lead to a significant
increase in the charging time.
WARNING
Always heed the following when
using a quick charger:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident.
Do not use a charge cable which
exceeds 30 m (98 ft).
This vehicle is compatible with quick
chargers with charge cables of 30 m
(98 ft) or shorter and which do not
charge other devices or vehicles at
the same time.
How to perform normal charging
1. Shift the selector lever to the P position.
2. Switch the power switch OFF.
3. Press the location shown in the figure to open the charge lid.
4. Open the normal charge port cap.

NOTE
When the high voltage battery
temperature is high or low, the output
may be restricted to protect the EV
system.
▼High Voltage Battery Power Gauge
The remaining power of the high
voltage battery is indicated when the
power switch is switched ON.
When the high voltage battery is fully
charged, F is indicated. As the level
lowers, the needle approaches E.
When the high voltage battery charge
decreases to 1/4 or lower, we
recommend charging the battery.
1. F (Fully charged)
2. 1/4 charged
3. E (Fully discharged)
When the remaining charge of the high
voltage battery is low, output may be
restricted. If the output is restricted,
charge the battery as soon as possible.
NOTE
After charging, it may require some
time for the needle to stabilize.
The arrow indicates that the
charging port is on the right side.
▼ Dashboard Illumination
When the lights are turned on with the
power switch switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard
illumination is dimmed. However,
when the light sensor detects that the
surrounding area is bright such as
when the lights are turned on in the
daytime, the dashboard illumination
does not dim.
NOTE
When the power switch is switched
ON in the early evening or at dusk,
the dashboard illumination is
dimmed for several seconds until the
light sensor detects the brightness of
the surrounding area, however, the
dimming may cancel after the
brightness is detected.
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-35.
The brightness of the instrument panel
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by pressing the dashboard
illumination switch while the
dashboard illumination is dimmed.
The brightness increases by pressing
the + switch.
The brightness decreases by pressing
the - switch. If you press the - switch
while the instrument cluster is at
maximum dimness, a sound is
activated to notify you that the

▼Remaining High Voltage Battery
Powe r I n d i cat i o n
The remaining amount of power in the
high voltage battery is indicated by a
percentage.
▼Distance to full discharge
The remaining distance to full
discharge is calculated and displayed
based on the current, remaining charge
of the high voltage battery and the
energy
effi ciency.
NOTE
The indicated remaining
distance-to-full discharge is an
estimate. The remaining
distance-to-full discharge diff ers
depending on conditions such as the
driving conditions, surrounding
environment, and the climate control
system use. Also, if the needle in the
remaining charge level gauge for the
high voltage battery is near 0 or a
message is displayed on the
multi-information display, charge the
battery as soon as possible even if
the numerical value for the
remaining distance-to-full discharge
is of a suffi cient level.
If there is no past energy
effi ciency
information, such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information was deleted when
disconnecting the lead-acid battery
terminal, the actual remaining
distance to full discharge range may
diff er from the charge level
indicated.
▼ Average Energy
Effi ciency
The average energy e fficiency is
calculated every 30 seconds from the
total traveled distance and the total
electrical power consumption since
the vehicle was purchased or the past
data was reset, and the rate is

There is the possibility of forgetting
that the selector lever is shifted to
the R position when only reversing
the vehicle a little. After reversing the
vehicle, immediately shift the
selector lever to the N or P position,
and before starting to drive the
vehicle again, check the shift
position indication in the instrument
cluster.
When driving
WARNING
Do not shift the selector lever to the N
position while driving:
Decelerat ion using the regenerat ive
braking is not possible which could
result in an accident.
Normal driving
Shift the selector lever to the D
position to drive the vehicle.
Acceleration/deceleration is
performed using the accelerator and
brake pedals.
Driving on steep upslopes
Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to
adjust the vehicle speed.
Driving on downslopes
On long or steep downslopes, increase
the amount deceleration using the
regenerative braking in regenerative
braking level change mode.
CAUTION
On long downslopes, operate the
regenerative braking and the foot
brake together. Frequent
deceleration by depressing the brake
pedal could cause the disc brakes to
overheat and become ine ffective.
If only strong regenerative braking is
used continuously, it could stop
working temporarily.
Regeneration braking is less e ffective
the closer the high voltage battery is
to a full charge, and regeneration
braking will not work when the high
voltage battery is fully charged.
Stopping the vehicles
1. After completely stopping the vehicle, continue to depress the
brake pedal firmly.
2. If necessary, apply the parking brake with the brake pedal
depressed.
3. If the vehicle is going to be parked for a long time, shift the selector
lever to the P position with the
brake pedal depressed.
WARNING
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily while the vehicle is
stopped:
If the accelerator pedal is mistakenly
depressed when the selector lever is in
a position other than the P or N
position, the vehicle could suddenly
accelerate resulting in an accident.
After stopping the vehicle, check the
shift position indication in the
instrument cluster before
re-accelerating:
If the vehicle were to move in the
unintended direction, it could lead to
an accident.
CAUTION
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal at the same time,
or rev the motor with the selector lever
in the forward drive position while the
vehicle is stopped on an upslope. The
motor could overheat and lead to
damage.
