Cruising range indicator
N00572700023
This displays the approximate cruising range (how many more
miles or kilometres you can drive). When the cruising range
becomes short, the indication changes to “---”.NOTE
The cruising range is displayed based on the past drive
data. It may vary depending on the driving condition (road
condition, driving situation, etc.) and air conditioning
operation status.
For example, the cruising range can be shortened by driv-
ing on congested roads, by driving uphill, by repeated
hard acceleration, and by use of the air conditioner and
heater.

power consumption data of the main drive lithium-ion
battery in the past is deleted. A different value from before
may be displayed. Be sure to use the display only for ref-
erence.

When the main drive lithium-ion battery is charged, the
approximate cruising range is updated.

below -40°F (-40°C), the display will remain 122°F
(50°C) or -40°F (-40°C).

The outside temperature displayed may differ from the
actual temperature on account of surrounding conditions,
driving conditions, etc.
