Odometer and trip meter
This meter displays the odometer and
trip meter.
1. OdometerShows the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
2. Trip meterShows the distance driven
since the last time it was set to zero.
The black digits on white indicate
tenths of miles.
3. Trip meter reset knobResets the trip
meter to zero.
To reset the trip meter, push the knob.
Battery check
Check the battery condition using the SOC
meter and traction battery voltmeter.
A: SOC (State of Charge) meter
The SOC meter indicates the battery
charging capacity with the motor switch on
or during charging.
1. Yellow zone − The area where applica-
tion of charge is recommended.
2. Red zone − The area where immediate
application of charge is recommended.
With the decreased electric capacity, you
may not be able to continue driving and
the traction battery life will also be short-
ened.
B: Traction battery voltmeter
The traction battery voltmeter indicates the
voltage level of the traction batteries. In-
creasing energy consumption is indicated
by a decreasing voltage level. (For exam-
ple, acceleration, accessory use, etc.) For
best performance, recharge the batteries
when the voltmeter enters the yellow zone
(3). For further information, see How to
drive" in Section 1−2 and Brake system"
in Section 3.
Tips for Driving Distance:
The output control warning light (4)
comes on when the voltmeter enters
the yellow zone because of rapid accel-
eration, increasing energy consumption,
etc. When the voltage drops, the warn-
ing light comes on. The buzzer sounds
at further drop of voltage. As the ambi-
ent temperature becomes colder, the
voltmeter tends to enter the yellow
zone. To have a longer driving range,
continue your driving while keeping the
voltmeter from entering the yellow
zone.
