If you operate the air conditioner/heater too much, the driving battery
uses too much electricity. This may
reduce the distance to empty.
Therefore, it is recommended that
you set the cabin temperature to
(23°C (73°F)) AUTO. This setting
that has been certified by various
assessment tests to maintain opti-
mal energy consumption rates while
keeping the temperature fresh.
Turn OFF the heater and air con-
ditioner if you do not need them.
Press and hold the accelerator pedal to maintain speed and drive
economically.
Gradually press and release the accelerator pedal when accelerat-
ing or decelerating.
Always maintain specified tire pressures.
Do not use unnecessary electrical components while driving.
Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle trunk.
Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance. It shows the energy consumption
rate of the vehicle and the
charge/discharge status of the
regenerative brakes.
POWER : It shows the energy
consumption rate of the vehicle
when driving uphill or accelerat-
ing. The more electric energy is
used, the higher the gauge level.
ECO GUIDE : It shows the energy
consumption rate during normal
driving condition.
CHARGE : It shows the charging
status of the battery when it is
being charged by the regenerative
brakes (decelerating or driving on
a downhill road). The more electric
energy is charged, the lower the
gauge level.
