The manual states:
When the vehicle is powered OFF and the system detects that the 12V battery is running low, the vehicle will automatically charge the 12V battery under certain safety conditions to prevent the vehicle from failing to start due to low battery. This function will be automatically turned off upon completion of charging.
Note: When the system detects a fault/vehicle start/charging with an external device, it will automatically exit the 12V battery automatic charging function.
All fairly standard.
It then states:
Note: This function will be temporarily disabled when the high-voltage battery pack is running low. To avoid flat battery, it is recommended to charge the vehicle as soon as possible when the CLTC driving range is less than 70km.
Now given that the CLTC range estimate is supposed to be supposed to be more optimistic than WLTP (around 15 to 25% more) so that should mean we need to keep the WLTP range to above about 50km…...
Pity they do not state a simple SOC % but then of course it seems we cannot see the SOC %!!
