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.

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.
