Driving for Better Energy Efficiency Use the following tips to help maximize energy efficiency and range. In colder temperatures, while these efficiency tips will help, the electric vehicle driving range may be lower due to higher energy usage. Driving Style


Efficiency Gauge (Instrument Cluster) The ball indicator should be kept green and in the center of the gauge. Inefficient acceleration is indicated when the ball turns yellow and travels above the center of the gauge. Aggressive braking is indicated when the ball turns yellow and travels below the center of the gauge.


Acceleration/Braking/Coasting Avoid unnecessary rapid accelerations and decelerations. Electric range is maximized at 80 km/h (50 mph) and below. Higher speeds use more energy and can significantly reduce electric range. Use cruise control when appropriate. Plan ahead for decelerations and coast whenever possible. For example, do not rush to traffic signals. Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast. The vehicle recovers energy while coasting and braking in D (Drive) or L (Low).


Drive Mode and PRNDL Selection Use Normal Mode when possible. Sport Mode provides more responsive acceleration than Normal Mode but can reduce efficiency.


In Brief


1-25


Use Mountain Mode prior to climbing long, steep grades in mountainous areas. Be sure to engage Mountain Mode before starting to climb. Mountain Mode reduces electric range and power but may be needed to maintain speeds above 96 km/h (60 mph) when climbing grades of 5% or greater. Use Hold Mode on a trip where all or most of the electric charge will be depleted. Use Hold Mode mainly during highway or high speed driving to maximize both EV miles and fuel efficiency. Use L (Low) in heavy stop-and-go traffic or when traveling downhill. L (Low) requires less brake pedal application and provides a controlled, efficient way to slow the vehicle down. Climate Setting Using the heat and air conditioning systems decreases the energy available for electric driving.

Black plate (26,1)


1-26


In Brief


Optimal energy efficiency is achieved with the heat, air conditioning, and fan turned off. Less energy is used at low fan speeds. When using the fan:


Fan Only is the most energy efficient climate setting as long as 0 is not selected.


. ECO is for moderate air conditioning and heater operation and is the next most energy efficient setting as long as 0 is not selected.


. Comfort provides the most


comfort but is the least energy efficient.


Use the auto heated seat feature instead of climate settings. Heating the seat uses less energy than heating the vehicle interior. Use remote start to heat or cool the interior when the vehicle is plugged in to maximize the electric range by utilizing electricity from the electrical outlet.


Engine Assisted Heating operation, if equipped, can be personalized. In hot weather, avoid parking in direct sunlight or use sunshades inside the vehicle. Turn off the front and rear window defog/defrost when they are no longer needed. Avoid driving with the windows open at highway speeds. See Vehicle Personalization on page 5-50. Vehicle Charging/Maintenance


Charging Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully charged, to keep the battery temperature ready for the next drive. This is important when outside temperatures are extremely hot or cold.


Maintenance Always keep the tires properly inflated and the vehicle properly aligned.


The weight of excess cargo in the vehicle affects efficiency and range. Avoid carrying more than is needed. If fuel is not regularly used, consider keeping the fuel tank only one-third full. Excess fuel weight impacts efficiency and range. For fuel recommendations, see Fuel on page 9-52
Avoid unnecessary use of electrical accessories. Power used for functions other than propelling the vehicle will reduce EV range. Using a rooftop carrier will reduce efficiency due to additional weight and drag.
