Output Restriction Warning Indication/Warning Light
“Acceleration Limited” displays/turns on
The indication/light displays/turns on under the following conditions. The vehicle speed may not increase even if the accelerator pedal is depressed because the motor output is restricted.
-
EV system is protected from overheating
-
High voltage battery level is low
-
High voltage battery temperature is low
“Acceleration Limited” displays/flashing
If the vehicle continues to be driven with the output restriction warning indication/warning light turned on, the output restriction warning light flashes.
The vehicle speed may not increase even if the accelerator pedal is depressed because the motor output is further restricted compared to the condition in which the output restriction warning light turns on.
“Excessive EV System Temp. Acceleration Limited Avoid Moving at Very Low Speeds. Depress Brake When Not Moving” or “Vehicle Cannot Hold Position. Depress Brake Pedal to Avoid Rolling” displays/turns on
When the vehicle is stopped on an upslope or the vehicle is driven at low speed on an upslope with the selector lever in the D or R position, the indication/light may display/turn on.
If necessary, park the vehicle in a safe place and let the EV system cool down because the output is restricted until the EV system returns to the normal temperature.
When the output restriction warning indication/warning light displays/turns on or flashes, check the safety of the surroundings:
The motor output decreases and the vehicle speed decreases resulting in an accident. If the vehicle cannot be driven safety, stop the vehicle in a safe place.
