FUV Owner's Guide - 98
l When you return home, keep your FUV plugged in.
The FUV is safe to be plugged in for any length of
time.
l If the battery is cold when you begin driving, the
typical slowing effect that occurs when the KERS
Trigger Control is squeezed may be limited. In this
case, we recommend using the hydraulic foot
brake. Wait until you have less than 60 percent
state of charge to use the KERS Trigger Control for
slowing down the FUV.
l Once you start driving and the battery begins to
warm up, your charge percentage may increase as
more energy in the pack is made available.
l To prevent battery damage, the FUV automatically
prevents the charger from charging when the
battery temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
NOTE
The environmental temperature does not directly
determine the speed of charging.
For example, a warm battery in freezing outdoor
temperatures will charge fine.
However, if the battery is allowed to cool off in freezing
temperatures, charging will be inhibited.
