(d) Open Door Warning Light This warning light comes on when any of the doors are not completely closed. Do not drive the vehicle with the light on. If any of the doors accidently opens during driving, it is danger and may cause an accident. (e) Low Tire Pressure Warning Light This light warns that the tire pressure of any one or more of the tires is critically reduced. The light comes on when the motor switch is turned to the "ON" position. It goes off after about 3 seconds. This indicates that the tire pressure warning system is functioning properly. If the light remains on after about 3 seconds, increase the tire pressure and start driving after making sure the light is off. If the light comes on while driving, adjust tire pressure to the specified level. (See "Tires" on page 207 in Section 9.) After the tire pressure is adjusted, the light should go off after driving at about more than 30 km/h (19 mph) for some time. If the light still remains on, have the tire pressure warning system checked at your EV service station. (f) "ABS" Warning Light The light comes on when the motor switch is turned to the "ON" position. If the anti- lock brake system works properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on again. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti-lock brake system does not operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti-lock brake system does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system, Contact your EV service station as soon as possible to service the vehicle. A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not indicate a problem. Either of the following conditions may occur, but do not indicate the malfunction: D The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the motor switch is turned to the "ON" position. It is normal if it turns off after a while. D Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the light. It is normal if it turns off after a few seconds. (g) SOC (State Light of Charge) Warning This warning light comes on when the charging capacity is about less than 20 % and flashes with less than 15 %. If this light comes on, we recommend that you should charge the traction batteries. And if the light flashes, immediately apply a charge. With the discharged traction batteries, you may not be able to continue driving and the traction battery life will also be shortened. D The light does not come on when the motor switch is turned to the "ON" position, or remains on. D The light comes on while you are driving. 9
