Tips for Improving Distance to empty
-
If you operate the air conditioner/heater too much, the driving battery uses too much electricity. This may reduce the distance to empty. Therefore, it is recommended that you set the cabin temperature to 22°C (72°F) AUTO. This setting that has been certified by various assessment tests to maintain optimal energy consumption rates whilst keeping the temperature fresh. Turn OFF the heater and air conditioner if you do not need them.
-
When the heater or air conditioning system is on the energy consumption is reduced if recirculation mode is selected instead of selecting the fresh mode. The fresh mode requires large amount of energy consumption as the outside air has to be re-heated or cooled.
-
When using the heater or air conditioning system, use the DRIVER ONLY or scheduled air conditioner/heater function.
-
Depress and hold the accelerator pedal to maintain speed and drive economically.
-
Gradually depress and release the accelerator pedal when accelerating or decelerating.
-
Always maintain specified tyre pressures.
-
Do not use unnecessary electrical components whilst driving.
-
Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle.
-
Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance.
