Cruising range indicator
Dim
This displays the approximate cruising range (how
many more kilometres or miles you can drive).
When the cruising range becomes short, the indica-
tion changes to "---".
NOTE
l
The cruising range is displayed based on the
past drive data. It may vary depending on the
driving condition (road condition, driving sit-
uation, etc.) and air conditioning operation
status.
For example, the cruising range can be short-
ened by driving on congested roads, by driv-
ing uphill, by repeated hard acceleration, and
by use of the air conditioner and heater.
When the auxiliary battery terminal is discon-
nected, the power consumption data of the
traction battery in the past is deleted. A dif-
ferent value from before may be displayed.
Be sure to use the display only for reference.
l When the traction battery is charged, the cruis-
ing range is updated. If the charge level is
low, the correct value is not displayed.
l On vehicles with speedometer of Type 2, the
display setting can be changed to the prefer-
red units (km or miles).
Refer to "Changing the display unit*" on
page 4-02.
Energy level gauge
The energy level gauge indicates the remaining pow-
er in the traction battery during charging or when
