• 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
