◆When braking (regenerative braking)
The electric motor (traction motor) charges the traction battery.
The driving range can be extended by actively using this regenera-
tive braking to store electricity in the traction battery.
◆Charging
The electric vehicle is driven using electricity, received from an
external power source, that is stored in the traction battery. Not only
public charging stations, but also household electrical outlets can
be used for charging. Procedures are different from refueling a con-
ventional vehicle. Theref ore, make sure to read the following thor-
oughly.
● Charging equipment ( P. 84)
● Power sources that can be used ( P. 88)
● How to charge your vehicle ( P. 181, 195)
● If charging cannot be done ( P. 377)
● Inspecting the charging cable ( P. 262)

EV system
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
traction battery.
●The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D, S or
B.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D, S or B.
If “REGENERATIVE BRAKING LIMITED” appears on the multi-information
display, refer to P. 347.
■ 12-volt battery recharging
The 12-volt battery is charged from the traction battery when the EV system
is operated or while the traction battery is being charged.
If the vehicle has not been used for a long time, the 12-volt battery may
become low due to self-discharge. If this occurs, follow the correct proce-
dures. ( P. 386)
■ When not using the vehicle for an extended period of time
P. 191
■ Charging the traction battery
Be sure to maintain the traction battery charge level suitable for your driving
needs.
If the traction battery fully discharges, the vehicle cannot be driven at all.
When the battery becomes low, charge it as soon as possible.
■ If the traction battery becomes low
●If the SOC (State of Charge) warning light flashes, the power used by the air
conditioning system will automatically be restricted and the traction battery’s
remaining charge will be distributed for driving the vehicle. If the traction bat-\
tery fully discharges, driving will not be possible. When the battery becomes
low, charge it as soon as possible.

■Driving Range
■ Sound and vibrations speci fic to an electric vehicle
Because an electric vehicle does not have the engine sound or vibrations that
a conventional vehicle has, the driver may not notice that the “READY” indi-
cator is illuminated and the vehicle can be driven. For safety reasons, always
shift the shift lever to P and apply the parking brake when the vehicle is
parked.
Before and after the EV system is started, the following sounds and vibrations
may occur.
However, these sounds and/or vibrations are not signs of malfunctions:
● The brake system operation sound heard from the front of the vehicle when
the driver’s door is opened.
● Motor sounds coming from the motor compartment.
● Electrical relay sounds may be heard from the motor compartment when the
EV system starts or stops.
● Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the
traction battery in the following situations:
• When the EV system is started or stopped
• When charging starts or finishes
• When the vehicle is driven the first time after the traction battery has been
charged using quick charge
● Operating sounds or motor sounds that occur when the brake pedal is oper-
ated.
● Cooling fan operating sounds from the radiator and/or traction battery.
● The operation sound of the air conditioning system (air conditioning com-
pressor, blower motor).
An estimated possible driving range,
which is calculated from traction battery’s
remaining charge, the air conditioning
operating mode and so forth, is shown on
the multi-information display.
However, the actual possible driving
range significantly varies depending on
the driving manner, weather and usage of
electrical components.
Use the estimated possible driving range
as a reference only, and try to keep the
battery as charged as possible.
