![]() A: Coast |
A chime will sound and the coasting guide indicator will be displayed to inform the driver when to take the foot off the accelerator by anticipating a decelerating event* based on the analysis of driving routes and road conditions stored in the navigation system. It encourages the driver to remove the foot from the pedal and allow coasting down the road with EV motor only. This helps prevent unnecessary fuel consumption and increases fuel efficiency. * Example of a deceleration event is going down an extended hill, slowing down approaching a toll booth, and approaching reduced speed zones.
* The operating speed may vary due to difference between instrument cluster and navigation affected by tyre inflation level. |
