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 . 150 )
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 .
