When Destination Is Set; Tips For Improving Distance To Empty - Hyundai Kona Electric 2018 Owner's Manual

DRIVING ELECTRIC VEHICLE (CONT.)
• Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after
completing a recharge may vary
significantly depending on previ-
ous operating patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, result-
ing in the high voltage battery
using more electricity than usual,
the estimated distance to empty is
reduced. When the high voltage
battery uses little electricity in ECO
mode, the estimated distance to
empty increases.
• Distance to empty may depend on
many factors such as the charge
amount of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, durability of
the battery, geographical features,
and driving style.
• Natural degradation may occur
with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty.

When destination is set

When the destination is set, the dis-
tance to empty may change. The dis-
tance to empty is recalculated using
the information of the destination.
However, the distance to empty may
vary significantly based on traffic
conditions, driving habits, and condi-
tion of the vehicle.
Tips for Improving Distance to
Empty
• If you operate the air conditioner
/heater too much, the driving bat-
tery uses too much electricity. This
may reduce the distance to empty.
Therefore, it is recommended that
you set the cabin temperature to
22°C AUTO. This setting that has
been certified by various assess-
ment tests to maintain optimal
energy consumption rates while
keeping the temperature fresh.
Turn OFF the heater and air condi-
tioner if you do not need them.
• When the heater or air conditioning
system is on the energy consump-
tion is reduced if recirculation
mode is selected instead of select-
ing 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 con-
ditioning system use the DRIVER
ONLY or scheduled air conditioner/
heater function.
