air pollution since fuel, like gasoline, is
not required, negating the emission of
exhaust gases.
A high performance electric motor is
used in the vehicle as well. Compared to
standard, internal combustion engine
vehicles, engine noise and vibrations are
much more minimal when driving.
When decelerating or driving downhill,
regenerative braking is utilized to charge
the high voltage battery. This minimizes
energy loss and increases the distance
to empty.
When the battery charge is not suffi-
cient, AC charge (L2-Normal), DC charge
and Trickle charge (L1-Trickle) are avail-
able. (Refer to "Charge types for electric
vehicle" on page 1-17.)

Charge types for electric vehicle


Charging information
僅 AC Charge: The electric vehicle is charged by plugging into a AC charger installed 1
at your home or a public charging station. (For further details, refer to "AC charge"
on page 1-24.)
僅 DC Charge: You can charge at high speeds at public charging stations. Refer to
the respective company's manual that is provided for each DC charger type. Bat-
tery performance and durability can deteriorate if the DC charger is used con-
stantly.
Use of DC charge should be minimized in order to help prolong high voltage bat-
tery life.
僅 Portable Charge: The Electric vehicle can be charged by using household electric-
ity. The electrical outlet at your home must comply with regulations and can safely
accommodate the Voltage/Current (Amps)/Power (Watts) ratings specified on the
portable charge.

WARNING
僅 Never place a rear facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat,
unless the passenger-side air bag is
deactivated. An inflating passenger-
side air bag could impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint and kill the child.
僅 Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear-
ward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an air bag in front of it!
僅 Never put a child restraint in the front
passenger's seat. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it can cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
僅 NEVER use a rearward facing child 4
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIR BAG in front of it. DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
僅 When children are seated in the rear
outboard seats of a vehicle equipped
with side and/or curtain air bags, be
sure to install the child restraint sys-
tem as far away from the door side as
possible, and securely lock the child
restraint system in position.
Inflation of side and/or curtain air
bags could cause serious injury or
death to an infant or child.

NOTICE
If equipped with rollover sensor
僅 The air bags inflate instantly in the
even of a rollover (if equipped with a
side air bag or curtain air bag) in order
to help protect the occupants from
serious physical injury.
僅 The side and/or the curtain air bag
may deploy when the rollover sensor
detects the situation as a rollover.

For Oman Special driving conditions


If driving conditions deteriorate due to
poor weather or road conditions, you
should pay even more attention than
usual.

Hazardous driving conditions


When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered, such as water, snow, ice,
OSG2EV052170L
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
For Nigeria
僅 Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
僅 Avoid sudden braking or steering.
僅 Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
僅 If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
OSG2EV052171L 僅 Use sand, rock salt, or other nonslip
material under the drive wheels to
provide traction when the vehicle is
stuck in ice, snow, or mud.

Reducing the risk of a rollover


This multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. SUVs have higher ground
clearance and narrower track to make
them capable of performing in a wide
variety of off-road applications.
Specific design characteristics give them
a higher center of gravity than ordinary
vehicles. An advantage of the higher
ground clearance is a better view of the
road, which allows you to anticipate
problems.
They are not designed for cornering at
the same speeds as conventional pas-
