Corrective action
Keep driving if you can drive at the same speed as
surrounding vehicles.
If you cannot drive the same speed as surrounding
vehicles, stop the vehicle in a safe place.
In the daytime, wait for the temperature to rise.
When the temperature in the vicinity of the main
drive lithium-ion battery has risen, start up.
When braking, depress the brake pedal more
strongly.
When you have finished driving, charge the main
drive lithium-ion battery before ambient temperature
falls to -18 °F (-28 °C) or lower.
If low temperature is predicted, even if the main
drive lithium-ion battery is fully charged, connect the
EV charging cable.
The main drive lithium-ion battery will automatically
be warmed.
