●
Leave a low level of charge in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) when
leaving the vehicle undriven for a long
period of time.
After confirming that EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode has switched to
HV mode, turn the power switch off.
●
Use the charging schedule function as
much as possible in order to fully
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) immediately before starting off.
(

P.136)
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) capacity reduces, the distance that
can be driven in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode decreases. However, vehi-
cle performance does not significantly
become worse.
■
When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
low after charging
In the following situations, the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) after charging completes may
be less than normal in order to protect
the system (the EV driving range after
the battery is fully charged may be
shorter).
*
●
Charging is carried out when the out-
side temperature is low or high.
●
Charging is carried out immediately
after high-load driving or in extreme
heat.
When none of the above situations
apply and there is a drastic drop in the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) after charging com-
pletes, have the vehicle inspected by a
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified workshop.
*
: When this occurs, even if the remain-
ing charge display of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) shows that it is
fully charged, the remaining charge
rapidly decreases faster than normal.
■
When the charging amount sent to
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
decreases
When the amount of power supplied by
the charger is low or operation of the
“Battery Heater”, etc., reduces the
charging power sent to the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), the charging
amount sent to the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) may decrease.
