WARNING
●If the vehicle under floor area receives strong shock or impact while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check around
the bottom of the vehicle. If there is damage to the traction battery or liquid leakage, it may
lead to a vehicle fire, etc. Do not touch the vehicle and immediately contact your SUBARU
dealer. Even if no damage can be seen
under the floor, the traction battery may be damaged. If the vehicle received an impact
under the floor, have the traction battery inspected at a SUBARU dealer.
■ Modifications
Do not make modifications that lower the height of the vehicle. The traction battery in the under floor area may come into contact with the ground when the height of vehicle is lowered. If the traction battery is damaged, a vehicle fire may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
Emergency shut off system
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensors, the emergency shut off system turns off the EV system and blocks the high voltage current. If the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart. To restart the EV system, contact your SUBARU dealer.
Warning message
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the EV system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the multi-information display, read the message and follow the instructions.( �P. 127, 621)
■ If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the 12-volt battery is disconnected
The EV system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If the“ READY” indicator does
not come on, contact your SUBARU dealer.
■ When the traction battery is completely discharged
When the EV system cannot be started due to the traction battery
being completely discharged, restart the system after AC charging or DC charging. When charging, it is recommended to charge the traction battery until the traction battery charge warning light turns off in order to ensure sufficient driving distance.
