STARTING AND DRIVING

Factors the driver cannot control
There are several outside conditions that
affect range to varying degrees:
•
the current traffic situation
•
driving short distances
•
topography
•
ambient temperature and headwinds
•
road conditions and road surface.
The table shows the approximate relationship
between ambient temperature and driving
range with normal climate settings and with
climate settings turned off.
Up to a certain limit, warmer ambient temper-
atures increase the electric motor's driving
range.

Factors the driver can control
The driver should be aware that the following
factors help conserve energy and improve
driving range:
•
charging the battery regularly
•
preconditioning
•
Pure drive mode
•
climate control settings
•
speed and acceleration
•
the Hold function
•
tires and tire pressure.
The table shows the approximate relationship
between constant speed and driving range.
Driving at a lower constant speed helps
increase the electric motor's driving range.
Constant speed
100 km/h (62 mph) 50 %
80 km/h (50 mph) 70 %
60 km/h (37 mph) 90 %
50 km/h (31 mph) 100 %
NOTE
•
The values shown in the table refer to a
new vehicle.
•
None of the values are absolute, but
are instead affected by e.g. driving
style, environment and other condi-
tions.
