DRIVING ELECTRIC VEHICLE
■ ■ When destination is not set
• 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.
• On average, a vehicle can drive
approximately 385 km (Cruise-
type)/246 km (City-type) or 239
miles (Cruise-type)/153
(City-type). Under certain circum-
stances where the air condition-
er/heater is ON, the distance to
empty is impacted, resulting in a
possible distance range from 280-
500 km (174- 310 miles) for
Cruise-type and 170-320 km (106-
199 miles) for City-type.
When using the heater during cold
weather or driving at high speed,
the high voltage battery consumes
a lot more electricity. This may
reduce the distance to empty sig-
nificantly.
• The vehicle can stop shortly after
the "---" has been displayed. When
it is displayed, drive to a safe
place to stop the vehicle. (The
available range varies depending
on driving speed, heater/air condi-
tioner, weather, driving style, and
other factors.)
• Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after com-
miles
pleting a recharge may vary signifi-
cantly depending on previous oper-
ating patterns. When previous driv-
ing patterns include high speed
driving, resulting 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 dis-
tance to empty increases.
■ ■ 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.
