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.

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.

POWER METER
The Power Meter displays the traction motor power
consumption and the regenerative brake power
applied to the Li-ion battery.
When the battery is charged, power is generated by
the regenerative brake system and the central dot
moves to the left.
When the battery discharges and power is provided to the motor, the central dot moves to
the right.
The number of circles will increase or decrease depending on Li-ion batte\
ry conditions
(motor output is limited if the Li-ion battery temperature is too high \
or too low or if the
Li-ion battery level is low).
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
