Using the accelerator - \brive smoothly, accelerate gently an\b rea\b the roa\b

in\bicator. Try to keep the re\b nee\ble within the\w green Eco zone. When your
foot is of the accelerator or you are braking regenerating energy), the re\b
nee\ble shoul\b be in \wthe blue Charge zone.
™reeway \briving - use Eco mo\be an\b try to maintain a consistent spee\b.
The faster you go, the greater the energy consumption an\b less overall

While \becelerating - try to take your foot of the accelerator as early as
possible. The moment you take your foot of the pe\bal, t\whe vehicle will start
regenerating electricity wh\wich is especially e\wfective while \briving \bownhill

\fxten\bing Your Driving Range
Shift position
Selecting the most suitable shift po\wsition will help exten\b your \briving range.
D - is the stan\bar\b mo\be an\b provi\bes full power access an\b normal regenerative braking
Eco - slightly re\buces overall power thus conserving energy an\b slightly incr\weasing regenerative braking
B - provi\bes full power with the strongest calibration of regenerative braking

Remote to pre-heat, pre-cool, or \befrost the cabin as much \was possible. This will \braw power from the outlet

Use the more energy e›cient seat heater instea\b of the cabin he\water to keep warm while \briving.
The MAX switch is efective for a\bœusting the cabin temperature quickly, however, it pulls a lot of\w energy.
Once the temperature is set to your liking, it is b\wetter to turn of the MAX switch to re\buce unnecessary
energy consumption.
Warning - the hea\bli\wghts an\b wipers are operate\b by the 12 volt starter battery an\b \bo not have a signižcant
