Charging
driven in EV driving decreases. How-
ever, the driveability does not signifi-
cantly become worse.
. In the following situations, the re-
maining charge of the high voltage
battery after charging completes may
be less than normal in order to protect
the system. When this occurs, even if
the remaining charge display of the
high voltage battery shows that it is
fully charged, the remaining charge
rapidly decreases faster than normal.
– Charging is carried out when the
outside temperature is low or high
– Charging is carried out immedi-
ately after high-load driving or in
extreme heat
If none of the above situations apply
and there is a drastic drop in the
remaining charge of the high voltage
battery after charging completes, have
the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU
dealer.
. Certification
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including in-
terference that may cause unde-
sired operation.

& Charging methods
The following methods can be used to
charge the high voltage battery.
. Charging from an external power
source
This is a charging method used when
charging from an AC outlet (120 V) with the
charge cable equipped to the vehicle or
charging at a public charging station. Refer
to "Charging from an external power
source" FP59.
The charging start time (or departure time)
and day can be set to carry out charging
using the timer at the desired date and
time. Refer to "Using the Remote Battery
Charging Timer" FP64.
. Using the Hybrid Battery Charge
Mode
The hybrid system can be switched to
Hybrid Battery Charge Mode to charge the
high voltage battery using electricity gen-
erated by gasoline engine operation. Refer
to "Switching to the Hybrid Battery Charge
Mode" FP35.
& Confirm the items before
charging
Before charging, always check the follow-
ing items.
. The parking brake is applied.
. The headlights are switched off or set to
AUTO, and lights, such as the hazard
warning flashers and interior lights, are
switched off. If electric components are
activated, they will use electric power. This
will cause a longer battery charging time.
. The ignition switch is off.
. Make sure that each part of the charge
cable is in good condition. Refer to
"Inspecting and maintaining the charge
cable" FP56.
& Power sources that can be
used
WARNING
Make sure to observe the precau-
tions for electrical faults when char-
ging the vehicle.
Failure to use a power source that
fulfills the requirements, or failure to
observe regulations while charging
could lead to an accident, possibly
resulting in death or serious injury.
