■Electromagnetic waves
●High-voltage parts and cables on the battery electric vehicles incorporate electro-magnetic shielding, and there-
fore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline-powered vehi-
cles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-
ference in some third party-produced radio parts.
■Traction battery (Lithium-ion bat-tery)
The traction battery has a limited service life.
The traction battery capacity (the ability
to store energy) reduces with time and use in the same way as other recharge-able batteries. The extent at which
capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (outside temperature, etc.) and usage conditions,
such as how the vehicle is driven and how the traction battery is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of lithium-
ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. Also, even though the driving range decreases when the traction battery
capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse. In order to reduce the possibility of the
capacity reducing, follow the directions listed on P.119, “Capacity reduction of the traction battery”.
■Starting the EV system in an
extremely cold environment
When the traction battery is extremely cold (below approximately -30°C [-
22°F]) due to the temperature outside of
the vehicle, it may not be possible to start the EV system. In this case, try to
start the EV system again after the tem- perature of the traction battery increases due to the outside temperature increas-
ing, etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis- sions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■High-voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-tem.
DC and AC high voltage systems are very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that
may result in death or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove, or replace the high voltage parts,
cables (orange) or their connectors.
●The EV system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-
ture, and always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.
