(h) Auxiliary Battery Discharge Warning
Light
This light comes on when the motor
switch is on. It goes off when the trac-
tion motor is ready to run.
If this light comes on during driving, the
auxiliary battery system may fail. De-
crease the vehicle speed and stop in a
safe place. If the light goes off, you can
drive. If not, contact EV service station.
(i) Motor System Caution Light
This light comes on when the motor
switch is on. It goes off when the traction
motor is ready to run.
The light comes on if the motor system
fails. If this light comes on, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place and contact EV ser-
vice station.
(j) Output Control Warning Light and
Buzzer
This light comes on when the motor
switch is on. It goes off when the traction
motor is ready to run. The warning light
may come on if you continue driving un-
der high load, or with an excessive load
applied on a steep incline or at higher or
lower ambient temperatures, or at the low-
er traction batteries voltage. The buzzer
sounds at further drop of voltage. The
voltage becomes lower as the SOC capac-
ity decreases largely or battery tempera-
ture becomes lower. In this case, the pow-
er is limited, so that the acceleration
becomes uneven or the maximum vehicle
speed decreases. As this does not indi-
cate a malfunction, you can continue driv-
ing at moderate speed.
CAUTION
If the light comes on frequently or
does not go off, the system may sud-
denly fail and your vehicle may be-
come undriveable. Have your vehicle
checked at EV service station.
