accelerator pedal position in the D
(Drive) position.
Drive at a constant speed. Maintain •
cruising speeds with constant acceler-
ator positions as much as possible.
Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Gen-
•
tly press and release the accelerator
pedal for acceleration and decelera-
tion.
Vehicle range may be substantially re-
•
duced in extremely cold conditions (for
example, 0°C).
Release the accelerator pedal to slow
•
down and do not apply the brakes
when traffic and road conditions allow.
Acceleration, Braking And Coasting
Acceleration: This vehicle has a single
speed automated gearbox. In accelerating
mode, the torque supplied by the motor via
the gearbox to the front wheels is linear in
nature.
Regenerative Braking
This vehicle is •
equipped with a
r e g e n e r a t i v e
brake system.
The primary pur-
pose of the regen-
erative brake
system is to pro-
vide some power to help recharge the
Li-ion battery and extend driving
range.
The electric motor when decelerating
•
and braking and transforms kinetic en-
ergy to electrical energy in order to
charge the high voltage battery.
(Torque is applied in the opposite di-
rection when decelerating to generate
braking force and electricity).
A secondary benefit is an effect similar
•
to “vehicle braking” seen in IC vehicle
cars. Here, it depends on HV battery
condition.
In the Drive mode, when the accelera-
•
tor is released, the regenerative brake
system provides some deceleration
and generates power for the high volt-
age battery.
Power is also generated when the
•
brake pedal is applied.
The calibration on the regen is done in
•
such a way that most people can ex-
perience a “single pedal” drive at most
times, just lift your feet of the acceler-
ator pedal to slow the vehicle down
and gain range. Brake lightly if re-
quired
When you brake and take your foot off
•
the accelerator pedal, more regenera-
tive brake is applied than in the drive
mode. However, during high-speed
driving you may feel that regenerative
brake provides less deceleration than
the motor braking in an ordinary vehi-
cle. This is normal.
Less deceleration is provided by the
•
regenerative brake system when the
Li-ion battery is fully charged. Regen-
erative brake is automatically reduced
when the high voltage battery is fully
charged to prevent it from overcharg-
ing.
