There are some areas where the system will not
show objects.
• When in the front or the rear view display,
an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed

2.
• When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
of the camera detecting areas

3 will not appear
in the monitor.

The distance between objects viewed on
the Around® View Monitor differs from the
actual distance.

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear farther than
the actual distance.
For more information, refer to the “Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems (section 4)”
of your Owner’s Manual.
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 (PARK) – Activated by pushing
the P (PARK) switch on the shift lever when the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• D (DRIVE) – For normal driving, it 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.
• While in either D (DRIVE) or B-Mode, ECO can be activated by pressing the ECO
button on the right side of the steering wheel.
• While 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.

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.

COLD WEATHER RANGE AND PARKING IN
EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER
COLD WEATHER RANGE


Vehicle range is reduced when the heater is used and the battery temperat\
ure drops
below 77°F (25°C).

Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temp\
erature is
below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity (heat pump, if so equipp\
ed) and affects vehicle
range more than using the heater at temperatures above 32°F (0°C)\
.
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.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of
your Owner’s Manual.

POWER LIMITATION INDICATOR LIGHT
When the power limitation indicator light illuminates, power
provided to the traction motor is reduced.

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

If the power limitation indicator light is illuminated, follow the instructions provided o\
n
the center display.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
LI-ION BATTERY
TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND LI-ION
BATTERY GAUGES
LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The temperature of the Li-ion battery is in the
normal range

1 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.
LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES

The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge
1
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
2
indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion battery
is capable of storing.

The driving range
3 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.
