New KTM PowerPack

The KTM PowerPack in the vehicle must be discharged completely the first time it is used. The vehicle initially reduces the drive
power. When operating in power-reduced mode, the vehicle can still be driven for a few more minutes before the vehicle switches off
with blink code 11.
Then recharge the KTM PowerPack until the battery charger ends the process at 100%. The charge level indicator on the battery
charger shows the progress made.
This charging process generally takes less than 90 minutes, but may take up to four hours. Do not skip this procedure as it has a sig-
nificant influence on the performance of the KTM PowerPack.

Operation at low temperatures

To spare the KTM PowerPack, the motor control reduces the power at low temperatures.
When the temperature of the KTM PowerPack falls below 9 °C, the motor control reduces power to 80%. 50% of power is available at
temperatures below 0 °C. In both cases, the active driving mode display flashes slowly. The vehicle can be operated without problems.
The KTM PowerPack is not damaged by the power reduction.
The KTM PowerPack warms up when the vehicle is operating. When the temperature of the KTM PowerPack rises above 0 °C, 80% of
power is available once the vehicle has been started again. When the temperature of the KTM PowerPack rises above 8 °C, full power
is available once the vehicle has been started again.
