damage. Such damage is not

●
Driving range depends on many
factors, such as the vehicle's
available power, vehicle age
(current battery life), weather,
temperature, road conditions and
driving habits. Compared with
under normal temperatures, the
pure-electric driving range is
somewhat reduced and power
performance will also be a󽗈ected
in low or high temperature
environments.
Saving Energy and
Extending Vehicle Service
Life
●
Saving energy is simple and easy, and
it helps prolong the vehicle's service
life.
●
Energy and repair cost saving tips:
1. Regenerative braking setting:
●
This vehicle can regenerate energy and
the regenerating degree can be set
by Infotainment touchscreen
→
Vehicle setting → Energy management.
When regenerative braking is set to
high, energy recovery increases when
braking and coasting. Set this feature
according to your driving habits.
2. Maintaining constant speed:
●
Constant speeds save energy.
Sudden acceleration, sharp turns
and emergency braking increase
consumption.
●
Speeds should be kept constant
according to tra󽗋c conditions.
Additional energy is consumed each
time the accelerator is pushed.
●
Acceleration should be gradual. Avoid
sudden acceleration or deceleration.
●
Prevent emergency braking, and
subsequent brake wear, by keeping
an appropriate distance from vehicles
ahead, and paying attention to tra󽗋c
lights.
●
Congested roads increase energy
consumption.
●
Keep moderate speeds in motorways.
The higher the speed, the higher
the consumption. Maintaining vehicle
speed within the economical speed
range can save power.
3. Reduce load:
●
Consumption is higher when air
conditioning is used. Turn the A/C
to reduce power consumption. When
outside temperatures are moderate,
the use of air circulation instead of air
conditioning reduces consumption.
●
Do not overload the vehicle
unnecessarily. Excessive weights will
add the load of vehicle, increasing
energy consumption.
4. Other tips:
●
Make sure tire pressure is correct.
Low tire pressure increases energy
consumption and wear.
●
Keep front wheels properly aligned,
avoid driving into curbstones, and
drive slowly in rough terrain.
Misalignment of the front wheels
not only increases tire wear, but
also increases load on the electric
powertrain and power consumption.
●
Keep the bottom of the vehicle clean
and mud free. This reduces vehicle
weight and prevents corrosion.
