State of Charge and Vehicle Range
The State of Charge (SOC) gauge
in the Combination Meter displays
the amount of charge remaining in
the traction battery.
Nearby the SOC gauge, the
Driving Range displays the
mileage for which a sufficient level
of driving performance can be
provided, estimated based on the
remaining charge of the traction
battery, the state of the traction
battery, the outside temperature,
and other factors. When the air
conditioning system is operating, the air conditioning icon is displayed along with the
estimated range. When the outside temperature is high or low, the traction battery output
may be decreased, causing the possible driving distance to be shorter. Charge the traction
battery earlier than usual in these situations.
