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 and is 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.

ESSE NTIAL INFORMATION
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.
