Startup and driving •
•
During quick charging, repeated high-speed driving, or
repeated uphill driving, the power down warning light* comes
on and the motor output is restricted to protect the main drive
lithium-ion battery or motor (electric motor unit).
Regenerative braking performance may decrease. When brak-
ing, depress the brake pedal more strongly.
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place
for a while, avoid quick charg-
ing, and wait for the power
down warning light* to go off.
• If you continue driving after the power down warning light*
comes on, the vehicle may stop after you have driven a few
miles/kilometres.
Charging and battery • During quick charging, charging times get longer.
