Driving basics
6-4 Driving your vehicle
Battery pre-cooled, the air
conditioning system will be focused on
cooling just the cabin.
Keep in mind that frequent use of the
Range setting will decrease the
lifetime of the Battery when you allow
the vehicle to charge to 100% using
this setting. Therefore, charge the
vehicle in Standard mode, and then
switch to Range mode approximately
twenty minutes before driving - just
enough to cool the Battery without
reaching 100% charge level.
•
Drive in Performance mode (see
page 2). Driving in Performance Mode
allows the Battery to operate at a
higher temperature. If you’re driving
and notice reduced performance of
the air conditioning system, switching
to Performance mode will redirect the
air conditioning back to the cabin.
•
Adjust your driving style. Aggressive
driving heats up the Battery, which in
turn demands more cooling. By driving
more conservatively, the air
conditioning system can focus on the
cabin.
Note: Some of the vehicle’s sensors and
diagnostics are sensitive to hot
temperatures and the Touch Screen may
display messages such as
Motor Over
Temp - Power Reduced or PEM Over
Temp - Power Reduced . This is no cause
for alarm, the Roadster will take care of
itself. However, if you see these messages,
remember that driving more
conservatively will help the vehicle cool
down quicker.
Deep water
Driving the vehicle through deep
water may cause serious damage to
the vehicle and will not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Do not drive through flooded areas, water
of unknown depth, or deep puddles. When
driving through even a relatively shallow
puddle, drive slowly to prevent water from
entering the vehicle.
Carrying items in cabin area
The trunk is the preferred place to carry
objects. In an accident, during hard
braking, or sudden manoeuvres, loose
items carried in the vehicle’s cabin area
can be thrown around, and cause injury to
occupants unless securely fastened.
Battery cooling
Note: Even with the starter key removed,
the cooling fan and coolant pump may
continue to operate for a period of time to
cool the cells in the battery. Some noise
may be heard from the vehicle. This is
normal and not a cause for concern.
