Information about charging
5-5 Charging your vehicle
50% within the first week. When the
Battery’s charge level falls below 50%, the
rate of decline slows to approximately 5%
per week.
If for some reason, you are unable to leave
the vehicle plugged in when it is not being
used, it is your responsibility to preserve
battery life. Regularly check the Battery
charge level and the ambient temperature
the vehicle is being stored at.
If leaving your vehicle unplugged for more
than 24 hours, follow these do’s and don’ts
to avoid prematurely decreasing the life of
your vehicle’s Battery:
•
DO leave the vehicle plugged in
whenever possible.
•
DO maintain at least a 15% charge level
in the Battery if leaving it unplugged
for more than 48 hours.
•
DO fully charge the Battery before
leaving it unplugged. This maintains
the charge level needed to keep the
Battery’s electronics operational.
•
DO NOT expose an unplugged vehicle
to ambient temperatures below -29°C
(-20°F) or above 49°C (120°F).
Use the vehicle’s touch screen to check
the charge level and temperature of the
Battery. For details, refer to the ‘Touch
Screen Users Manual’.
Storing your vehicle
If you plan to leave the vehicle unused for
longer than 15 days, it is strongly
recommended that you leave the vehicle
plugged in and select the Storage charge
setting using the touch screen.
Charging the vehicle using the Storage
setting maintains a lower level of charge
within the Battery, this in turn helps to
optimise the life of the individual cells
within the Battery.
Note: The reduced charge level also
reduces the vehicle’s available driving
range. So remember to change the setting
back to ‘Standard’ before taking the
vehicle on an extended drive.
For details on how to select the Storage
charge setting, refer to the ‘Touch Screen
Users Manual’.
Battery charge level
The level the Battery will be charged to
depends on the charge setting you select
(see About charge settings, page 5-7).
The Standard charge setting is the
preferred setting for normal use. Selecting
the Range or Performance charge settings
will charge the Battery to its maximum
allowable charge level, whereas selecting
the Storage charge setting will charge the
Battery to a relatively low level.
Vehicle range and remaining
charge level
The touch screen displays values for
Battery charge level and estimated vehicle
range.
Note: This information is also displayed on
the LCD panel (see LCD panel, page 6-12).
The estimated vehicle range displayed on
the touch screen can be calculated in two
different ways:
•
EST RANGE - calculates the distance
based on how the vehicle has been
driven for the last 64 km (40 miles).
•
IDEAL RANGE - calculates the
distance you could achieve in ideal
driving situations.
The charge level and estimated distance
you can drive are continuously updated.
Therefore, if you have been driving on hills
for the past 64 km (40 miles), and you are
now driving on a flat highway, the distance
you can drive on the remaining charge will
actually be more than the estimate that is
displayed when EST RANGE is selected.
Likewise, if you are displaying vehicle
range based on IDEAL RANGE, but are
using the vehicle’s air conditioning system
and driving aggressively, the distance you
can drive on the remaining charge will be
less than the estimate that is displayed.
The estimated distance you can drive may
be lower or higher after a period of rest.
For example, when parking your vehicle
