How to save the power and extend the service
life of your car
■ The saving method of the battery power is simple and easy, and it can also help to
extend the service life of the car.
■ There are some essentials to save the power and repair costs:
1. Feedback setting:
● The car has energy recovery function and energy recovery intensity setting
function, which can be set in the setting function in multimedia (If fitted) and
dashboard. When the energy recovery mode is set to a high position, the power
recycled during braking and taxiing processes can be increased. Please set these
parameters based on your driving habits.
2. Maintain vehicle speed:
● The driving at a constant speed can save the power. Rapid acceleration, sharp
turns and sudden braking may consume more power.
● Keep your driving speed as uniform as possible based on the road conditions.
Each time of acceleration may consume additional power.
● Much energy can be saved in the cruise control mode (If fitted) under proper
driving conditions.
● Slowly and smoothly accelerate the car. Avoid rapid start, rapid acceleration, and
rapid deceleration.
● Drive the car at a smooth speed, follow traffic lights Or drive the car on the avenue
without traffic lights, and maintain a proper driving distance with the preceding car,
to avoid emergency braking, so as to reduce brake wear.
● Avoid roads with traffic jams as much as possible.
● Maintain a proper driving speed on the highway. The higher the driving speed is,
the power consumption is more. It can save the power to keep the driving speed
within the economic speed range.
3. Reduce the load:
● The operating air conditioning may add an additional load to the motor, so as to
consume more power. Turn off the air conditioning to reduce power consumption.
When the outside air temperature is appropriate, the outdoor circulation mode
should be used to supply the air in the car.
● Avoid loading unnecessary weights on vehicle. The excessive weights will
increase the vehicle load and consume more power.
4. Others
● Maintain the correct tire pressure. Any insufficient tire pressure will cause tire wear
and waste of electrical power.
