40 – 60 kmph. Therefore they are ideal for
city applications. Driving in this range
along with following of other points here
will add your mileage significantly. A driv-
ing speed band of 60 to 80 kmph is rec-
ommended on highway. At high speed, the
range may result in significant drop in
range.
Driving on Highway
Do not change the accelerator pedal in-
puts rapidly. GO as smooth as possible.
EV’s being instantaneous torque and
power – there is very little lag in translating
the pedal input to vehicle response.
Stopping distance progressively, in-
creases with vehicle speed. Maintain a
sufficient distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.
For long distance driving, perform safety
checks before starting a trip and take rest
at certain intervals to prevent fatigue.
Driving In Heat And Cold Weather
The heating and cooling on the car uses
energy from the battery. Set temperatures
to a comfortable 24° C - 26° C with Auto
mode and Econ activated, and see the
comfort as well as the range go up signifi-
cantly
ELECTRIC POWER ASSISTED
STEERING (EPAS)
Your vehicle is equipped with electric
power assisted steering system. The
EPAS system makes steering the vehicle
easier with less effort.
In EPAS system, the steering effort be-
comes heavier as the vehicle speed in-
creases and becomes lighter as the
vehicle speed decreases for better control
of the vehicle at different vehicle speeds.
If the vehicle is ‘OFF’ or if the EPAS sys-
tem becomes inoperative, the vehicle still
can be steered with more steering effort.
This EPAS system is available with the fol-
lowing assist features
Speed sensitive assist control 1.
Active return control 2.
WARNING
On long and steep gradients you must
reduce the load on the brakes by taking
your foot off the accelerator pedal. This
allows you to take advantage of regen-
erative braking effect and helps avoid
overheating of service brakes resulting
in reduced braking efficiency.
CAUTION
Do not store the vehicle in temperatures
below -25°C for more than seven days.
If the outside temperature is -25°C or
less, the Li-ion battery may freeze and
it cannot be charged or provide power
to run the vehicle. Move the vehicle to
a warm location
