■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and
disposal
Contact a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop regarding maintenance,
repair, recycling and disposal. Do not
dispose of the vehicle yourself.
In order to make EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode available, charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
from an external power source
before using the vehicle.
Even if charging the hybrid battery
(traction battery) has not been com-
pleted, the vehicle can be driven. How-
ever, if there is not enough charge
remaining, it is possible that the vehicle
cannot be driven in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode, or the EV driving range
will become shorter.
■
Refilling fuel
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be driven
using electricity charged from an exter-
nal power source. However, as the gas-
oline engine is used depending on the
situation (

P.84) even if in EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode, and the gasoline
engine is provided on board as a power
source for driving in HV mode, it is
needed to refueling the vehicle.
Check the fuel amount and refill immedi-
ately when the fuel level becomes low.

■
If the vehicle is not used for a long
time
●
The 12-volt battery may discharge. In
this event, charge the 12-volt battery.
(

P.535)
In order to prevent the hybrid battery
(traction battery) from becoming
extremely low in charge, charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery) from
external power source or start the
hybrid system at least once every 2 or
3 months, and turn the power switch
off after the gasoline engine has
stopped automatically. (If the gasoline
engine does not start up even after
approximately 10 seconds have
passed since the “READY” indicator
came on, the power switch can be
turned to off without any further
action.)
When the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged, refer to “If the 12-volt battery
is discharged” (

P.535) and perform
the correction procedure.
●
When the vehicle is left with the AC
charging cable connected, the elec-
tricity consumption amount of the 12-
volt battery increases due to controls,
such as the system checking, operat-
ing. When the AC charging cable is
not needed, immediately remove it
from the vehicle.
