Freeing A Frozen Door Lock
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
anti-icing agent through the key hole.
Some examples of anti-icing agents are
sodium chloride, potassium chloride, glyc-
erol, and urea. If the lock becomes frozen,
heat the key before inserting it into the key
hole or use the remote keyless entry key
fob. Handle the heated key with care to
avoid burn injuries.
Antifreeze
In the winter when it is possible that the
outside temperature will drop below 0°C,
check the antifreeze to ensure proper win-
ter protection. For additional information,
refer to the Maintenance section of this
manual.
12-volt Battery
If the 12-volt battery is not fully charged
during extremely cold weather conditions,
the 12-volt battery fluid may freeze and
damage the 12-volt battery. To maintain
maximum efficiency, the 12-volt battery
should be checked regularly.
TIPS TO GET MAXIMUM RANGE
WHILE DRIVING EV
If safe to do so, modulate the acceler- •
ator pedal instead of using the brake
pedal when gradually slowing down.
Whenever the vehicle is moving and
you are not pressing the accelerator
pedal, regenerative braking slows
down the vehicle and feeds surplus en-
ergy back to the HV battery.
Limit the use of resources such as
•
heating, and air conditioning. If you op-
erate the air conditioner/heater for long
duration, it will use too much electricity
from HV battery. Turn OFF the heater
and air conditioner if you do not need
them.
Using the climate control system to
•
heat the cabin when the outside tem-
perature is below 0°C uses more elec-
tricity and affects vehicle range more
than when using the heater when the
temperature is above 0°C.
Press and hold the accelerator pedal
•
to maintain speed and drive economi-
cally.
Gradually press and release the accel- •
erator pedal when accelerating or de-
celerating.
Do not use unnecessary electrical
•
components while driving.
Do not load unnecessary items in the
•
vehicle trunk. Any additional load in the
car drains the battery. Do not add more
accessories, do not keep dead weight
in the car, and in general travel as light
as possible.
Do not mount parts on the exterior of
•
the car as it might increase drag.
Service schedule should be adhered
•
to. Fluid levels should be maintained
within tolerance limits. Both of these
also helps in realizing the maximum
range potential of an electric vehicle
To optimize driving range use
•
drive/eco mode and maintain the rec-
ommended tyre pressure.
Drive in ECO mode
•
ECO mode helps reduce power •
consumption by reducing acceler-
ation when compared to the same
