How to Save Energy and
Prolong Vehicle Service
Life
• Saving energy is simple and easy, and it
helps prolong the vehicle's service life.
• Energy and repair cost saving tips:
1. Regenerative braking setting: 1. Regenerative braking setting:
• This vehicle can recycle energy. Set
the energy through regenerative
braking, which can be set by using
the corresponding button in the
infotainment system. When regenerative
braking is set to high, energy recovery
increases when braking and coasting.
Set this feature according to driving
habits.
2. Maintaining constant speed: 2. Maintaining constant speed:
• Constant speeds save energy. Sudden
acceleration, sharp turns and emergency
braking increase consumption.
• Speeds should be kept constant
according to traffic conditions.
Additional energy is consumed each
time the accelerator is pushed.
• Acceleration should be gradual. Avoid
sudden acceleration or deceleration.
• Prevent emergency braking, and
subsequent brake wear, by keeping
an appropriate distance from vehicles
ahead, and paying attention to traffic
lights.
• Congested roads increase energy
consumption.
• Keep moderate speeds in motorways.
The higher the speed, the higher the
consumption.
3. Reduce load: 3. Reduce load:
• Consumption is higher when air
conditioning is used. When outside
temperatures are moderate, the use of
air circulation instead of air conditioning
reduces consumption.
• Do not overload the vehicle
unnecessarily.
4. Other tips: 4. Other tips:
• Make sure tire pressure is correct.
Low tire pressure increases energy
consumption and wear.
• Keep front wheels properly aligned,
avoid driving into curbstones, and drive
slowly in rough terrain.
• Keep the bottom of the vehicle clean
and mud free.
REMINDER
•Do not coast in neutral gear.
Carrying Luggage
• This vehicle has multiple storage spaces.
Overloading or improper placement may
affect handling, stability and safety.
• Use the glove box, interior panel and
backrest pockets to place small items.
Large items are to be placed in the trunk.
• Long items can be loaded by folding the
rear seat backrests. Make sure to place
loads properly so as not to affect vehicle
handling, stability and safety.
• Make sure the vehicle's total load (v
pass luggage) remains within the
specified maximum weight.
