Distance to Empty
ORG3EVQ011043E
The distance to empty is displayed 
differently according to the selected 
drive mode in the Drive Mode Integrated 
Control System. 
For more information, refer to “Drive 
Mode Integrated Control System” in 
chapter 6. 
When destination is not set
ś On average, a vehicle can drive about 
282 miles (454 km). 
ś Under certain circumstances where 
the air conditioner/heater is ON, 
the distance to empty is impacted, 
resulting in a possible distance range 
from 161 miles (300 km). When using 
the heater during cold weather 
or driving at high speed, the high 
voltage battery consumes a lot more 
electricity. This may reduce the 
distance to empty significantly.
ś After ‘0 km’ has been displayed, 
the vehicle can drive an additional 
2~5 miles (3~8 km) depending on 
driving speed, heater/air conditioner, 
weather, driving style, and other 
factors.
ś Distance to empty that is displayed 
on the instrument cluster after 
completing a recharge may vary 
significantly depending on previous 
operating patterns. 
When previous driving patterns 
include high speed driving, resulting 
in the high voltage battery using more 
electricity than usual, the estimated 
distance to empty is reduced. When 
the high voltage battery uses little 
electricity in ECO mode, the estimated 
distance to empty increases.
ś Distance to empty may depend on 
many factors such as the charge 
amount of the high voltage battery, 
weather, temperature, durability of 
the battery, geographical features, 
and driving style. When the ambient 
temperature is low such as in winter, 
the actual driving distance may 
reduce due to degradation of the 
battery.
ś Natural degradation may occur with 
the high voltage battery depending 
on the number of years the vehicle is 
used. This may reduce the distance to 
empty.
When destination is set
When the destination is set, the distance 
to empty may change. The distance 
to empty is recalculated using the 
information of the destination. However, 
the distance to empty may vary 
significantly based on traffic conditions, 
driving habits, and condition of the 
vehicle.
