CAUTION
●
Higher battery SOC can ensure
su󽗋cient discharge power of the
power battery, so that the engine
can work normally and a better
acceleration experience can be
obtained.
●
Battery fault, generator fault, and
engine fault may a󽗈ect the Kick-
Down power output.
●
Frequent triggering of the Kick-
Down function will cause the
battery level of the vehicle to drop
rapidly.
