SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
All types of charging can- not be performed. The vehicle power switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Before charging, place the vehicle power switch in the OFF position.
Both the normal charge connector and the
quick charge connector (if so equipped) are
connected at the same time. The normal charge connector and the quick charge connector cannot be connected at
the same time.
The Li-ion battery is already fully charged. Confirm the available Li-ion battery capacity remaining by checking the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge. If the Li-ion battery charge gauge reaches 100%, the Li-ion bat-
tery is already fully charged and cannot be charged. Charging automatically turns off if
the Li-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too
hot or cold to charge. Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature
gauge. If the gauge indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue
zone), charging is not possible. Allow the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charg-
ing. For additional information, see “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” (P. 2-7).
The 12-volt battery is discharged. If the vehicle electrical systems cannot be turned on even when the power switch is
turned on, the 12V battery may be discharged. Charge or replace the 12V battery.

The white illuminated portionO1moves 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
O2.
Regenerative braking is automatically re-
duced when the Li-ion battery is fully
charged to prevent the Li-ion battery from
becoming overcharged. Regenerative
braking is also automatically reduced when the Li-ion battery temperature is
high/low (indicated 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
O2.
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
O2.
NOTE:
If the power meter is selected on the trip
computer, the meter is not displayed.
DRIVING RANGE
The driving rangeO1provides an esti-
mated distance that the vehicle can be
driven before recharging is necessary. The
driving range is constantly being calcu-
lated, based on the amount of available
Li-ion battery charge and the actual power
consumption average.
When the power switch is placed in the OFF
position, it remains for approximately 30
seconds.

• Temperature affects the amount ofcharge the Li-ion battery is capable of
storing. The Li-ion battery is capable of
storing less power when the Li-ion bat-
tery temperature is cold. The Li-ion
battery is capable of storing more
power when the Li-ion battery tem-
perature is warm. The length of the
blue bar of the gauge
O1can change
based on the amount of power the Li-
ion battery is capable of storing. For
example, when the Li-ion battery be-
comes colder, a longer blue bar of the
gauge
O1illuminates because the
available charge is a greater percent-
age of the Li-ion battery's capability of
storing power. When the Li-ion battery
becomes warmer, a shorter blue bar of
the gauge
O1illuminates because the
remaining energy is a lower percent-
age of the Li-ion battery's capability of
storing power. Estimated Charge Time
The Estimated Charge Time mode shows
the estimated time charge the Li-ion bat-
tery to a full level. Immediately af ter the
power switch is placed in the
ONposition,
longer charging time may be displayed
than the actual time required.
How to read the display:
The displayed charging time is calculated
based on the electrical (supplied to the
charger), which is selected in the [Charge
Time Screen] setting under the EV Settings
menu. The display shows:
O1The currently remaining Li-ion battery
charge level.
O2The estimated charging time to reach
each percentage (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) of
the Li-ion battery level.
• If the estimated charging time is longer than 24 hours, [Over 24hr] is displayed.
