Page 72: Characteristics Of The Ev (Electric Vehicle) System
2-1. Electric vehicle Characteristics of the EV (Electric Vehicle) system Electric vehicles are considerably different from conventional vehicle. They use electricity charged in a traction battery, instead of fos- sil fuels, to drive the electric motor. Since electric vehicles drive using electricity, they do not emit any emissions such as CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides).
Page 73 2-1. Electric vehicle ◆ When braking (regenerative braking) The electric motor (traction motor) charges the traction battery. The driving range can be extended by actively using this regenera- tive braking to store electricity in the traction battery. ◆ Charging The electric vehicle is driven using electricity, received from an external power source, that is stored in the traction battery.
Page 74 2-1. Electric vehicle Vehicle Proximity Notification System Electric vehicles do not emit engine sounds. To warn pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people, and vehicles in the surrounding area that the vehicle is approaching, a sound is intentionally produced while driving. The pitch of the sound adjusts according to vehicle speed.
Page 75 2-1. Electric vehicle ■ Regenerative braking In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the traction battery. ● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D, S or ●...

Page 77 2-1. Electric vehicle ■ Driving Range An estimated possible driving range, which is calculated from traction battery’s remaining charge, the air conditioning operating mode and so forth, is shown on the multi-information display. However, the actual possible driving range significantly varies depending on the driving manner, weather and usage of electrical components.
Page 78 2-1. Electric vehicle ■ Vehicle Proximity Notification System In the following cases, the vehicle proximity notification system sound may be difficult for pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people, and vehicles in the surrounding area to hear: ● When there is a lot of noise in the vicinity ●...
Page 79: Ev (Electric Vehicle) System Precautions
2-1. Electric vehicle EV (Electric Vehicle) system precautions Be careful of the high voltage components (about 300 V at maxi- mum), such as the traction battery, power control unit, orange colored high voltage cables, and electric motor, as well as high temperature components such as the cooling radiator, which are provided on the electric vehicle.
Page 80 2-1. Electric vehicle Emergency shut off system When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the emergency shut off system turns off the EV system and blocks off the high voltage current. If the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart.
Page 81 2-1. Electric vehicle ■ Traction battery (Lithium-ion battery) The traction battery has a limited service life. The traction battery capacity (the ability to store energy) reduces with time and use in the same way as other rechargeable batteries. The extent at which capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (outside temperature, etc.) and usage conditions, such as how the vehicle is driven and how the traction battery is charged.
Page 82 2-1. Electric vehicle CAUTION ■ Road accident cautions Follow the instructions described below to reduce the risk of death or seri- ous injury, and immediately contact your Scion dealer: ● Stop the vehicle in a safe place, apply the parking brake while depressing the brake pedal, shift the shift lever to P and turn the EV system off.
Page 83 2-1. Electric vehicle CAUTION ● Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If leaked liquid (other than water from the air conditioning) is found on the ground, the traction battery may have been damaged. Leave the vehicle as soon as possible. In addition, inform your Scion dealer about the leakage found on the ground when contacting them.

2-3. Driving the EV (Electric Vehicle) EV (Electric Vehicle) driving tips Unlike the conventional vehicles, the energy consumption effi- ciency of electric vehicles will decline if they continue driving on highways or at high average speeds, causing the possible driv- ing distance to reduce.
Page 95 2-3. Driving the EV (Electric Vehicle) ■ Use of EV System Indicator Keeping the EV System Indicator within Eco area or Charge area can help minimize consumption of the traction battery, allowing the vehicle to drive in an Eco-friendly manner. (P. 107) ■...
Page 96 2-3. Driving the EV (Electric Vehicle) The chart shown above is for explaining the energy consumption differ- ence between electric vehicles and gasoline engine vehicles. Gasoline engine vehicles achieve the best fuel efficiency while they are driven at a speed of approximately 43 mph (70 km/h). However, electric vehicles obtain the best energy efficiency while being driven at speeds between approximately 12 to 25 mph (20 to 40 km/h).
Page 97 2-3. Driving the EV (Electric Vehicle) ■ Air conditioning on/off ● Switch the air conditioning off when it is not needed. Doing so can help control excessive electricity and power consumption. In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioning and reduce power consumption as well.
