Operation sound of brake system
Sound can be heard from the front of
the vehicle under the following
conditions:
x
The driver's door is opened.
x
The power switch is switched ON.
x
The brake pedal is operated.
x
The brake system operates
automatically.
x
Several minutes have passed since
the EV system was stopped.
Vibration of brake pedal
Vibration of the brake pedal might
be felt under the following
conditions:
x
The power switch is switched ON.
x
The brake pedal is operated.
High voltage battery level and
temperature
If the high voltage battery level is low
or the high voltage battery temperature
is low, the vehicle speed may not
increase even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed because the motor output is
restricted. Drive the vehicle following
the instructions displayed on the
multi-information display.
To Extend Cruising Distance
x
The electrical power consumption
while driving can be reduced and the
cruising distance can be extended by
doing the following operations.
x
With the charging connector
connected, turn on the
air-conditioning system to provide
a comfortable temperature in the
cabin before driving.
x
When driving during cold
temperatures, use the seat warmer
or steering warmer instead of the
air-conditioning system.
x
Adjust the air-conditioning system
to a moderate airflow and
temperature setting.
x
Refrain from using the defogger
under conditions other than when
a window is fogged or frozen.
x
Unload unnecessary cargo to
reduce the vehicle weight.
x
Avoid unnecessary sudden
acceleration, rapid acceleration,
and rapid deceleration. Instead,
perform smooth starts,
acceleration, and deceleration.
x
Try to drive maintaining a constant
speed and avoid speeding.
x
Inspect the tyre pressures regularly
and always adjust the tyre
pressures to the specified inflation
pressure.
x
By maintaining a sucient distance
between vehicles and using the
regenerative braking well, more
electrical power can be charged to
the high voltage battery.
