High Voltage Battery Pack
Precautions and restricted conditions
for use of battery
If the vehicle is not going to be used,
parked,orstoredforalongtimeit
is necessary to charge the vehicle at
least once every 3 months. During
this time, the High Voltage battery
state of charge should not be
allowedtodropbelow50%.
If the battery is in a low state of
charge and the instrument pack
displaysno valid driving range, the
vehicle MUST NOT be left in a
stored state for more than 7 days
without being charged to above
50%.
 Failure to follow these guidelines
will result in HV battery damage
and invalidate the warranty.
 DO NOT attempt to dismantle
the battery pack or any High
Voltage components - THESE
ARE DANGEROUS. Any signs of
dismantling or damage caused by
attemptstodismantlewillinvalidate
the warranty.
 When using a paint curing oven
pleaseobservethefollowing:Before
andafteranypaintbakingprocess,
the vehicle should be parked at
room temperature (20 ± 2°C) for
24 hours. The vehicle can be used
normallyafter being parked for24
hours.Thebakingoventemperature
should not exceed 80°C and the
baking time should not be longer
than30minutes.
1 DO NOT park the vehicle in conditions
where the ambient temperature exceeds
45°C for more than 15 days. This will
effect the performance and service life of
the high voltage battery.
2 To maintain or improve the service
life of the high voltage battery, it is
recommended that you use a slow
charging method wherever possible,
rapid charging should only be used for
long distance journeys or emergencies.
3 It is recommended using the vehicle at
least once a month.
Where possible it is recommended that
you carry out a slow charge (equalisation
charging) every month to extend the
service life of high-voltage battery pack.
The battery management system will
monitor the status of the high voltage
battery pack. After monitoring for a
period of time, if an equalisation charge
has not been carried out for some time
the message centre in the instrument
pack will display ‘Please Slow-charge the
Vehicle’. At this time you must carry out
an equalisation charge. For operation
mode, please refer to ‘Equalisation
Charging’ in ‘Starting & Driving’ section.
