• Temperature affects the amount ofcharge the Li-ion battery is capable of
storing. The Li-ion battery is capable of
storing less power when the Li-ion bat-
tery temperature is cold. The Li-ion
battery is capable of storing more
power when the Li-ion battery tem-
perature is warm. The length of the
blue bar of the gauge
O1can change
based on the amount of power the Li-
ion battery is capable of storing. For
example, when the Li-ion battery be-
comes colder, a longer blue bar of the
gauge
O1illuminates because the
available charge is a greater percent-
age of the Li-ion battery's capability of
storing power. When the Li-ion battery
becomes warmer, a shorter blue bar of
the gauge
O1illuminates because the
remaining energy is a lower percent-
age of the Li-ion battery's capability of
storing power. Estimated Charge Time
The Estimated Charge Time mode shows
the estimated time charge the Li-ion bat-
tery to a full level. Immediately af ter the
power switch is placed in the
ONposition,
longer charging time may be displayed
than the actual time required.
How to read the display:
The displayed charging time is calculated
based on the electrical (supplied to the
charger), which is selected in the [Charge
Time Screen] setting under the EV Settings
menu. The display shows:
O1The currently remaining Li-ion battery
charge level.
O2The estimated charging time to reach
each percentage (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) of
the Li-ion battery level.
• If the estimated charging time is longer than 24 hours, [Over 24hr] is displayed.

• When the currently remaining Li-ion bat-tery level exceeds each percentage level,
the charging time will be displayed as
[---].
• When the Li-ion battery was fully charge, all the charging time information will be
displayed as [---].
O3The currently selected electrical power
(supplied to the charger).
O4The estimated charge level of the Li-ion
battery to be reached when the remaining
charging time has passed.
O5The electrical power that is actually sup-
plied while quick charging.
O6The remaining charging time before the
quick charger is shut off.
When charging is not performed, pushing
the OKbutton on the steering wheel will
switch the display to the [Charge Time
Screen]. Select the electrical power that
you wish to show in the Estimated Charge
Time display.
NOTE:
• While charging, the estimated charg- ing time is calculated based on the
electrical power that is currently being
supplied to the charger.
• The electrical power for the normal charging is displayed at a fixed value.
Therefore, the displayed electrical
power may differ from the one that is
actually supplied.
• For the quick charging, the electrical power display will change to the actual
electrical power while charging. If the
charging is stopped or the power sup-
ply is stopped (unplugged, etc.), the
displayed electrical power returns to
the selected electrical power. • The displayed charging time on each
percentage level is the current estima-
tion, and the actual charging time will
vary depending on the conditions of
the vehicle or the state of charge.
• Right af ter starting or stopping charge, the estimated charging time
may differ from the actual charging
time. The actual charging time will be
displayed af ter a period of time.
