NEW SYSTEM FEATURES
APPROACHING VEHICLE SOUND FOR PEDESTRIANS
(VSP) SYSTEM
The VSP system helps alert pedestrians to the presence of the vehicle when it \
is being
driven at a low speed.
When the vehicle starts to move, it produces a sound. The sound stops when the vehicle
speed reaches approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) while accelerating.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” of your Owner’s Manual.
CARWINGS™/REMOTE FUNCTIONS* (if so equipped)

m a compatible
internet-enabled smart phone or personal computer such as:
Battery status – The status of the battery can be checked even if you are not in the vehicle.
Unplugged st atus and charging status – A notification e-mail and/or text message can be
sent if the charge connector is not connected or if battery charging is stopped mid-charge.
Remote charge and remote climate control – Start battery charging or set a time to turn on
your climate controls.
Li-ion battery warmer st atus - When the ambient temperature is low, the Li-ion battery
warmer operates automatically and an e-mail notification will be sent \
to remind you of
connecting your vehicle to a charging station.
POIs powered by Google™ - Allows you to search from locations near your vehicle’s
current location, near a plotted destination, near the map’s scroll position or near a
searched city center.
*Remote functions are only available when the following conditions are m\
et: Optional C ARWINGS™ (if so equipped) subscription service has been established. Your vehicle and smart phone are in a compatible cellular phone coverage \
area and your personal computer is connected
to the internet.

NEW SYSTEM FEATURES
SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an electric shift control
system, providing smooth and easy shift lever operation.
There are five shift positions for operating the vehicle: P (PARK) , R (REVERSE) , N (NEUTRAL),
D (DRIVE) and B-Mode.
•
P (P
ARK) – Activated by pressing the P (PARK)
button on the shift lever when the car has come to
a complete stop.
•
D (D
RIVE) – For normal driving. Activated by moving the shift lever left and down. The
shift lever will then return to the center position.
•
B-Mode
– Engages the regenerative braking system more aggressively when
decelerating, helping to put energy back into the battery pack. To enter B-MODE the
vehicle must be in D (DRIVE) and then move the shift lever to the D (DRIVE) position
again. The shift lever will then return to the center position.
ECO – Consumes less power and helps extend vehicle range.
•
W
hile in either D (DRIVE) or B-MODE, ECO can be activated by pressing the ECO
button on the right side of the steering wheel.
•
W
hile in ECO, there will be a reduced acceleration response.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.
HEATED SEATS
The front seats and the rear outboard seats can be warmed by built-in heaters.
The switches, located on the center console 01
(front seats) and on the side of the front passenger
seatback
02 (rear seats), can be operated independently of each other.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat, automatically turning the heater on and off. The
indicator light will remain on as long as the switch is on.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

ESSE NTIAL I N FOR MATION
QUICK CHARGE IN COLD WEATHER (if so equipped)
It may take more time to charge the Li-ion battery using the quick charger if the vehicle is
parked in a cold location (for example 32°F (0°C)) for a long period of time.
The Li-ion battery temperature gauge can be used to estimate the approximate time needed to charge the Li-ion battery to 80%.
For more information, refer to the “Charging (section CH)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.

PARKING IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER
Do not store the vehicle in temperatures below -13°F (-25°C) for\
over seven days. If the
outside temperature is -13°F (-25°C) or lower
, the Li-ion battery may freeze and it cannot
be charged or provide power to run the vehicle.
The Li-ion battery heater does not operate if the available Li-ion batter\
y charge is less than approximately 30% and the charger is not connected to the vehicle. To help prevent the
Li-ion battery from freezing, do not leave the vehicle in an environment\
where temperatures
may go below -1°F (-17°C) unless the vehicle is connected to a charger.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” of your Owner’s Manual.
COLD WEATHER RANGE
Vehicle range may be reduced when the temperature drops below -4°F (-\
20°C).
Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temp\
erature is below
32°F (0°C) uses more electricity and affects vehicle range more \
than using the heater at
temperatures above 32°F (0°C).
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of
your Owner’s Manual.

LI-ION BATTERY
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is in the normal range
01 when the display is within this zone.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery varies with
outside air temperature, road surface temperature,
driving conditions and charging rate.
To protect the battery, power is reduced when the temperature of the battery is too high or low. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
01
LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES
The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge
01
displays the approximate available Li-ion battery
power remaining to drive the vehicle. Recharge the
Li-ion battery before these lights reach the bottom line.
The Li-ion Battery Capacity Level Gauge
02
indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion battery is
capable of storing.
The driving range
03 provides an estimated distance
that the vehicle can be driven before recharging is
necessary. The driving range is constantly being
calculated, based on the amount of available Li-ion
battery charge and the actual power consumption average.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

This light illuminates in the following conditions:
• T
he Li-ion battery available charge is extremely low.
• T
he Li-ion battery temperature is very low.
•
T
he temperature of the Electric Vehicle (EV) system is high (motor, inverter, coolant
