Level Gauge
The High Voltage battery ch arge level may decrease
under the following conditions:
•When the 12-volt batter y has been replaced.•When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.•When the High Voltage battery control system
corrects its reading.
The charge level readin g will be corrected
automatically while driving.
Changes in the temperatur e of the High Voltage
battery can increase or decrease the battery’s charging
capacity. If temperature ch anges cause the battery’s
capacity to change, the num ber of indicators in the
battery charge level gauge may also change, even if
the amount of charge remains the same.
