Cautions and actions to deal with intense cold
Corrective action
In the daytime, wait for the temperature to rise.
When the temperature in the vicinity of the main
2
drive lithium-ion battery has risen, start up.
If low temperature is predicted, even if the main
drive lithium-ion battery is fully charged, connect the
EV charging cable (normal charger).
The main drive lithium-ion battery will automatically
be warmed.
The Plug-in Hybrid EV system can be started within
1 hour after the EV charging cable is connected.
When braking, depress the brake pedal more
strongly.
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.
In the daytime, wait for the temperature to rise.
When the temperature in the vicinity of the main
drive lithium-ion battery has risen, begin charging.
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.
