Driving range
The driving range displayed on the multi-information display, etc., shows the reference distance that driving is possible, and the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
Displayed value
A value for which a sufficient level of driving performance can be provided is estimated based on the remaining charge of the traction battery, the state of the traction battery, the outside temperature, etc., and is displayed on the multi-information display.( �P. 138)
When the outside temperature is low, the traction battery output may be decreased, causing the possible driving distance to be shorter. However, this is not a malfunction. Charge the traction battery earlier than usual.
Tips for extending the driving range
Possible driving distance varies significantly depending on how the vehicle is driven, road conditions, the weather, the outside temperature, usage conditions of electrical components and the number of occupants.
Possible driving distance could be extended if the followings are performed:
• Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front and avoid unnecessary acceleration and deceleration
• Accelerate and decelerate the vehicle as smoothly as possible
• Drive at moderate speeds as much as possible and maintain a constant speed
• Set the air conditioning system to a moderate temperature and avoid using the heating and cooling functions excessively.
• Use tires of the specified size and maintain the specified tire pressure
• Do not add unnecessary weight to the vehicle
Display when charging is completed
The followings indicate that charging has been carried out properly.
• The charging indicator turns off
•“ Charging Complete” is displayed on the multi-information display when a door is opened while the power
