The IMA battery level indicator
shows you the state of charge of the
battery for the Integrated Motor
Assist (IMA). This battery is
recharged and discharged by the
IMA motor depending on the driving
conditions.The position of the battery level
reading shows the state of charge of
the IMA battery. When the battery
level reading is high, the IMA
battery is well charged. There are
seven positions (Level 0-Level 6) of
the battery level reading.The battery level reading may drop
near the bottom under driving
conditions that require IMA motor
assistance f or a long time, such as
prolonged acceleration or climbing a
long hill.
The IMA motor will recharge the
battery as you continue driving.

The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in L (Low) mode (see page ).
The battery level gauge does not
read the battery level directly. It
calculates the level by continuously
measuring the current f low, voltage,
and temperature. If the battery is mostly discharged,
the Auto Idle Stop f unction is
disabled (see page ). The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in LOW (L) range (see page ). Since the level is not read directly,
small sensing errors can, over time,
cause the gauge to read higher than
the actual battery level. The system
will then perf orm a correction, and
the battery level gauge reading will
drop suddenly. When this happens,
IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop are
disabled until the IMA battery is
suf f iciently recharged by normal
driving.This correction of the battery level
gauge is normal and does not
indicate a problem. If the IMA
battery develops a problem or
becomes deteriorated, the IMA
system indicator will come on. If this
happens, have the vehicle checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.
