Suzuki - In the plug-in hybrid system when the battery voltage drops due to continued use of ev mode in cold temperatures sudden acceleration may result in insufficient battery charge-discharge control and a lower voltage than expected. This may cause the warning light to come on and the hybrid system to shut down. This could result in a loss of drive and an increased risk of a crash.
