DRIVING EFFICIENTLY
IMPACTS ON RANGE
A number of factors influence energy use and electric range. Keep thes\
e factors in mind while driving in order to maximize range:
Technique – Avoid rapid acceleration or braking. Higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce range.
Terrain – Varying road conditions, such as hills, rain, snow and wind, impact range.
Climate Settings – The energy needed to warm or cool the vehicle’s cabin and
propulsion battery can cause range to decline. Using Fan Only settings will increase efficiency.
Outside Temperature – Hotter or colder air has an effect on vehicle aerodynamics and range.
To view these factors on electric range, go to Energy > Information > Ra\
nge Impacts: Since Last Full Charge on the infotainment screen. A positive number inc\
reases the vehicle’s energy usage rating.
EFFICIENCY GAUGES
Use the Driver Information Center controls to select an instrument cluster layout that displays the green efficiency bar, ball or ring indicator.
While driving, try to keep the bar or ring green, or the ball in the center of the gauge, depending on the cluster theme selected. The bar or ring will turn yellow or the ball will move up or down during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking.
REGEN ON DEMAND™
Regen on Demand temporarily regener-ates energy from the vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion
battery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold the left paddle on the back of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling the paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deact\
ivated once the paddle is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
