Vehicle Control

Vehicle Control System

The vehicle control system is used to collect data regarding
the requirements from the driver (accelerator pedal, brake
pedal, gear shift selection etc), it uses this information to
adjust the driving stability and ride comfort, and to limit
the output torque of the vehicle according to the vehicle
condition (practical capabilities of current high-voltage
battery pack and drive motor).
Driving Mode
The driver is able to select different driving modes to
suit their requirement. In different driving modes, the
vehicle control system can use different control strategies
for output control. For operation mode, please refer to
'Driving Mode' in 'Electric Drive System (EDS)' chapter.
Energy Regeneration (KERS)
Whilst the vehicle is in an over-run, coasting or braking
condition the vehicle will enter the KERS mode, converting
part of the kinetic energy into electric energy by driving
STARTING & DRIVING
the motor, which is then stored in the high-voltage battery
pack.
The driver can choose different energy recovery levels
as required. For operation mode, please refer to 'Energy
Regeneration (KERS)' in 'Electric Drive System (EDS)'
chapter.
Adaptive Cruise Control
The adaptive cruise control function enables the driver
to keep the vehicle advancing at a constant speed, or,
when using car following cruise control mode, without the
requirement to operate the accelerator pedal. The driver
can select the cruise settings by operating the lever switch,
please refer to 'Adaptive Cruise Control System' chapter
for the operation mode.

Power Limit of Electrical Appliances

According to the current load condition and the status
of the low-voltage (12V) battery, the vehicle can limit
the power of some comfort electrical appliances, such as
restricting USB charging, partial lighting, air conditioning
blower, entertainment system screen brightness and
