l
When the vehicle is driven in a high ambient temperature, its air-conditioner performance can be insufficient. Also, using the air conditioner can reduce the
vehicle’s cruising range.
l
When the ambient temperature is approximately 40 °C or higher, the phenomena described below may occur. Please take the described corrective action.

Phenomena
Corrective action
Approx. 40 °C to
45 °C
Startup and driving
During quick charging, repeated high-speed driving, or repeated uphill
driving, the power down warning lamp* comes on and the motor out-
put is restricted to protect the traction battery or motor (electric motor
unit).
Stop the vehicle for a while, avoid
quick charging, and wait for the power
down warning lamp* to go off.
Approx. 45 °C to
60 °C
Startup and driving
During continued high-speed driving or continued uphill driving, the
power down warning lamp* comes on and the motor output is restric-
ted to protect the traction battery or motor (electric motor unit).
If you continue driving after the power down warning lamp* has come
on, the vehicle may stop when you have driven a few kilometres. (The
vehicle stops when the traction battery temperature reaches 60 °C.)
Charging and battery
Charging may become impossible. (When the traction battery tempera-
ture is 60 °C or higher, charging is limited to protect the traction battery.
Park in a well-ventilated, shady place.
The traction battery capacity decreases more quickly, and the cruising
range decreases more quickly. When you park, do so in a well-ventila-
ted, shady place.
