The messages that do not require
immediate action can be acknowledged and
cleared by pressing
V. The messages that
require immediate action cannot be cleared
until that action is performed.
All messages should be taken seriously;
clearing the message does not correct the
problem.
If a SERVICE message appears, see your
dealer.
Follow the instructions given in the
messages. The system displays messages
regarding the following topics:

Propulsion Power Messages
REDUCED ACCELERATION DRIVE
WITH CARE
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions, the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
This message can be displayed when the
high voltage battery charge level is low. This
is normal behavior as the vehicle is limiting
power due to reduced battery capability. Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the vehicle has been off for
two minutes.
PROPULSION POWER REDUCED DUE TO
TEMPERATURE
This message displays when the vehicle is
on, the battery temperature is low, and
when the vehicle’s performance is limited.
The duration of the limited vehicle
performance depends, in part, on the high
voltage battery charge level. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively
high, as the vehicle is driven, the battery
temperature will increase, and the vehicle
will return to normal operation. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively low
the vehicle will not return to normal
operation until charged.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully
charged, to keep the high voltage battery
temperature ready for the next drive. This is
important when outside temperatures are
extremely hot or cold.

184 Driving and Operating
Steering
Caution
To avoid damage to the steering system,
do not drive over curbs, parking barriers,
or similar objects at speeds greater than
3 km/h (1 mph). Use care when driving
over other objects such as lane dividers
and speed bumps. Damage caused by
misuse of the vehicle is not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering system, which reduces the
amount of effort needed to steer the
vehicle. It does not have power steering
fluid. Regular maintenance is not required.
If the power steering system overheats,
there will be a temporary reduced level of
steering assist until the system cools down.
For example, the system can overheat if the
steering wheel is held firmly for an
extended amount of time at the end of its
range of travel. The energy from the
additional power assist becomes heat.
Normal operation of the power steering
system will resume when the system
cools down.
If the power steering system malfunctions,
the power steering system will have no
steering assist and greater steering effort
may be required. See your dealer to resolve
the problem.
Curve Tips
.Reduce speed before entering a curve.
.Maintain a reasonable steady speed
through the curve.
.Wait until the vehicle is out of the curve
before accelerating gently into the
straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
.There are some situations when steering
around a hazard may be more effective
than braking.
.Holding both sides of the steering wheel
allows you to turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
.The Antilock Brake System (ABS) allows
steering while braking.
