authentication within 60 sec’s, cluster
will display ‘RESTART’. Press start button
again & position key fob for
authentication.
Operate brake pedal and accelerator pedal
with your right foot only.
While driving, if you remove your foot
from accelerator pedal without pressing
brake pedal, you will feel partial
regenerative braking. This is normal and
is attributed to vehicle’s regenerative
braking that will re-charge batteries for
an extra drive range.
In event of ‘START / STOP’ button turned
off, it takes few seconds for LED to turn
from ‘Green’ to off condition and during
this if you want to switch ON car, you
simply press ‘START’ button again and

Step 9:When you require a higher
acceleration to overtake other
vehicles or in up-hill climbing, move
gear lever to ‘Boost’ [B] mode. In
this mode you attain a much higher
torque. The max. speed is 81 kmph
& It is possible for you to switch
from Forward [F] mode to Boost [B]
mode and vice-versa while car is in
motion. However, for optimal
driving range, you are advised to use
Forward [F] mode.
Step 10: To reverse, make sure that your car
is stationary. Then move gear
lever to Reverse [R] mode. Press
accelerator gently and drive
backward. In this mode, speed is
electronically limited to approx 20
kmph for safety.
By following above steps, you will see that
driving your car is a simple and delightful
experience. Read section 9.6 to get best
performance from your vehicle.
Reverse park Camera:
Use ‘reverse park camera’ for
assistance in reversing your car. This will
come on as soon you select reverse mode
with infotainment system ON.
When charge level in your battery Pack
reduces to less than 10% SOC, vehicle
energy monitoring system puts vehicle
on“power save mode” where in car will
drive in reduced power.
This is due to pre-programmed software in
your vehicle’s Intelligent Energy
Management System [IEMS] and Motor
Controller. These components will
monitor, as far as possible, that you are
never get stranded on the road due to
insufficient energy in battery Pack. Digital
SOC & SOC bar displays available energy
and ‘distance to empty’ indicating your
driving range from previous & present
drive . As you cover distance, digital SOC &
gauge bar will reduce continuously
displaying possible drive range from
remaining energy in battery pack.
(if equipped)
Always ensure energy level is sufficient
for proposed travel distance. Avoid
driving below 1% State of Charge as
vehicle might stop at any point of time
from now. Find nearest charge point to
charge your car.

RANGE
1. Always make sure that you release
parking brake completely before driving
your car.
2. Always drive car using right foot only.
3. Always drive in Forward [F] mode to get
optimum range out of your battery.
Use B mode when you want to overtake or
when you want to have fun with car.
4. Pre cool your car cabin remotely by turning
on aircondition when still plugged in for
charge. This will ensure that battery will be
100% charge with cabin temperature
preconditioned.
5. Use aircondition with desired level of
cooling set during drive. This will help in
consuming less energy for cooling.
6. By anticipating and applying gradual
braking you will ensure car batteries will
be recharged for extra range. Vehicle is
assisted with electrical regenerative
braking, also vacuum assisted brake for
shoot stop.
9.3 REVive / 9.4 HILL HOLD / 9.5 EXTENDING YOUR DRIVING RANGE
9.3 REVive*
In event of SOC is low (<10%) while in drive, you
can activate reserve energy by activating
“REVive”. This will allow you to get energy
released from battery reserve to reach your
destination or near charge point. ‘REVive’ feature
to be used in emergency, hence use ‘REVive’
feature carefully by planning your daily travel.
*: User charges as applicable.
a) To enable hill hold, press & hold brake
pedal for 1 second.
b) The car holds for 2 seconds & then
slowly restrain backwards.
c) To release car from hill hold or restrain,
press accelerator or brake pedal.
9.4 HILL HOLD & RESTRAINT:
This feature allows you stop your car on
inclined roads for few seconds after
pressing and holding brake for a second. It
gives an added advantage to user for
having good control while driving on an
incline.
