NOTE
The range is estimated for the
reference of the driver and
passengers only. The actual
endurance mileage is related to
various factors such as current
road conditions (such as a long
steep slope), driving habits (such
as frequent acceleration and
deceleration), temperature (such
as low temperature), and whether
electrical equipment (such as
A/C) is on.

Tips to get maximum range while
driving EV
1. If safe to do so, modulate the
accelerator pedal instead of
using the brake pedal when
gradually slowing down.
Whenever the vehicle is moving
and you are not pressing the
accelerator pedal, regenerative
braking slows down the vehicle
and feeds surplus energy back to
the HV battery.
2. Limit the use of resources such
as heating, and air conditioning.
If you operate the air
conditioner/heater for long
duration, it will use too much
electricity from HV battery.

BEFORE DRIVING YOUR EV
Turn OFF the heater and air
conditioner if you do not need
them.
3. Using the climate control
system to heat the cabin when
the outside temperature is
below 0°C uses more electricity
and aects vehicle range more
than when using the heater
when the temperature is above
0°C.
4. Press and hold the accelerator
pedal to maintain speed and
drive economically.
5. Gradually press and release the
accelerator pedal when
accelerating or decelerating.
6. Do not use unnecessary
electrical components while
driving.
7. Do not load unnecessary items
in the vehicle trunk. Any
additional load in the car drains
the battery. Do not add more
accessories, do not keep dead
weight in the car, and in general
travel as light as possible.
8. Do not mount parts on the
exterior of the car as it might
increase drag.
