• The
vehicle can stop shortly after the
"---" has been displayed.When it is
displayed, drive to a safe place to
stop the vehicle. (The available range
varies depending on driving speed,
heater/air conditioner, weather, driv‐
ing style, and other factors.)
• Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after com‐
pleting a recharge may vary signifi‐
cantly depending on previous operat‐
ing patterns. When previous driving
patterns include high speed driving,
resulting in the high voltage battery
using more electricity than usual, the
estimated distance to empty is re‐
duced. When the high voltage battery
uses little electricity in ECO mode, the
estimated distance to empty increa‐
ses.
Tips for improving distance to
empty
• If you operate the air conditioner/
heater too much, the driving battery
uses too much electricity. This may
reduce the distance to empty. There‐
fore, it is recommended that you set
the cabin temperature to 22°C (72°F)
AUTO. This setting that has been cer‐
tified by various assessment tests to
maintain optimal energy consumption
rates while keeping the temperature
fresh. Turn OFF the heater and air
conditioner if you do not need them.
• When the heater or air conditioning
system is on the energy consumption
is reduced if recirculation mode is se‐
lected instead of selecting the fresh
mode. The fresh mode requires large
amount of energy consumption as
the outside air has to be re-heated or
cooled.
• When using the heater or air condi‐
tioning system, use the DRIVER ONLY
or scheduled air conditioner/ heater
function.
• Depress and hold the accelerator
pedal to maintain speed and drive
economically.
• Gradually depress and release the ac‐
celerator pedal when accelerating or
decelerating.
• Always maintain specified tire pres‐
sures.
• Do not use unnecessary electrical
components while driving.
• Do not load unnecessary items in the
vehicle.
• Do not mount parts that may in‐
crease air resistance.
