Approx.
ambient tempera-
ture
Phenomena Corrective action
Approx. -25 °C or
lower (including
the phenomena of
approx. -15 °C or
lower)
Startup and driving
l
Driving performance decreases by approximately
50%. Continue driving. (As the traction battery
temperature rises, the output restriction
will gradually be removed.)
Charging and battery
l
Charging may become impossible. (When the traction battery tem-
perature is -25 °C or lower, charging is limited to protect the trac-
tion battery.)
When you have finished driving, charge
the traction battery before its temperature
falls.
Approx. -30 °C or
lower (including
the phenomena of
approx. -15 °C or
lower and -25 °C or
lower)
Startup and driving
l
The
ready indicator*

does not come on, and startup may not be
possible.
l
In the worst-case scenario, the vehicle may become undrivable
(with the energy level gauge and cruising range indications still
shown).
In the daytime, wait for the temperature
to
rise. When the temperature in the vicin-
ity of the traction battery has risen, start
up. (Once you start driving, the traction
battery temperature will rise. Provided
the traction battery has some power, the
vehicle will not stop.)
l
Regenerative braking performance may decrease. To decelerate, press the brake pedal.
(The deterioration in regenerative brak-
ing performance is like a deterioration in
engine braking in a petrol- or diesel-en-
gine version. If you press the brake ped-
al, the brakes will work.)
