STARTING AND DRIVING
Energy distribution using map
data*
In the driving position Hybrid
ered by both the electric motor and the inter-
nal combustion engine. If a destination has
been selected in the navigation system*, the
9
Predictive Efficiency function distributes the
electric energy consumption along the whole
driving distance using the map data.
In addition to the map data, the function also
takes into account speed limits, traffic and ele-
vation differences.
The electric motor is used primarily when driv-
ing at low speeds e.g. during city driving with
more stops and starts. The combustion engine
is used primarily when driving at high speeds
and can, in good conditions, generate power
for the electric motor.

ber of conditions are met:

Tips for use
If the car is used for commuting to work and it
is not possible to charge the car at the place of
the car is pow-
work, specify the place of work as an inter-
mediate destination and your home as the
final destination. The discharging of the hybrid
battery will then take place over your runs
both to and from work.
Add similar commuting routes, i.e. the route
between two charging points, as
in the navigation system to facilitate arrival.
