148Driving and operatingAvoid shifting to N to coast. The
vehicle recovers energy while
coasting and braking in D or L.
Efficiency gauge in the instrument cluster
Driving efficiency gauge 3 74.
Drive mode and gear mode selection Use normal drive mode when
possible.
Sport mode provides more
responsive acceleration than normal
mode but can reduce energy
efficiency.
Use L in heavy stop‐and‐go traffic or
when travelling downhill. L requires
less brake pedal application and
provides a controlled, efficient way to slow the vehicle down.
Control of the vehicleCaution
Drive carefully whenever the road
has a steep incline or when driving over a ramp or bump, etc.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats, which fit properly and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
Emergencies9 Warning
Damage to the high voltage
battery or high voltage system can create a risk of electric shock,
overheating, or fire. If the vehicle
is damaged from a moderate to
severe crash, flood, fire, or other
event, the vehicle should be
inspected as soon as possible by
a workshop. Until the vehicle has
been inspected, store it outside at
least 7.5 m from any structure or
anything that can burn.
Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Avoid making hard stops for the first 300 km.
Hard stops with new brake linings can
lead to premature wear. Follow this
breaking-in guideline every time you
get new brake linings. Following
break-in, vehicle speed and load can be gradually increased.
Power button
Electronic key must be inside the
vehicle.
