While this alert is present, the deceleration
rate of the vehicle due to regenerative
braking will be reduced and more brake pedal
application will be required to slow the
vehicle (similar to what is needed in a gas-
powered, non-electric, vehicle).
This alert is expected under the following
conditions:
• Battery is near full charge:
Regenerative braking is reduced when
the battery is at 95% charge or higher.
• Battery is cold:
The battery may not be warm enough
for full regenerative braking performance
(possibly at the beginning of a drive).
In extremely cold climates, this alert
may remain present
indefinitely and
regenerative braking may remain
reduced, as driving the vehicle may not
warm the battery enough to fully restore
performance.
Typically, driving will clear this alert because
it will reduce the battery charge level below
95% and
suciently warm the battery.
This is a completely normal part of vehicle
operation and should not cause alarm. The
notice on the screen is for your information
only.
For more information on regenerative
braking, see the Regenerative Braking section
in the Owner’s Manual. Regenerative Braking
on page 78.
(UI_a014)
Tire pressure lower than
recommended
Check tire pressure and
refill as needed
This alert does NOT indicate that there is a
flat tire.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
has detected that the air pressure in one or
more of your tires is at least 20% lower than
the recommended cold tire pressure. This
recommended pressure should be displayed
on the Tire and Loading information label.
See Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 201
for detailed information on how to keep the
tires properly inflated.
This alert may appear in cold weather
because the tire pressure decreases when
cold.
• Although drops in tire pressure are
expected in colder weather, air should still
be added to maintain the recommended
cold tire pressure.
• The alert may clear as the vehicle is
driven. This is because the tires will warm
up and the tire pressure will increase.
Even if the alert clears, the tires should
still be refilled with air once they have
cooled. The recommended cold tire
pressure should be maintained.
If you repeatedly see this alert for the same
tire, have the tire inspected for a slow leak.
For more information on tire pressure and
inflation, see Tire Care and Maintenance on
page 201.
