Driving tips
Use brake pedal only when necessary. When
the high voltage battery is fully charged,
you may experience reduced regenerative
braking torque. Also, regenerative braking may
be reduced at very high or very low battery
temperature.
Use ECO mode whenever possible to reduce
acceleration force.
Use the air conditioning rather than the heating
to demist the passenger compartment.
Vehicle may break-down, meet with
an accident or catch fire due to:
– Installation of:
• High wattage bulbs
• Non genuine lamps / horns
• Modified suspension / wheels
• Non genuine parts / accessories etc.
– Short circuiting due to tampering of wiring
harness.
Do not store or carry inflammable
materials in the vehicle.
Avoid driving into or starting the
vehicle in a heavily water logged area.
Vehicle may break-down or engine may fail
due to:
– Water entry into the engine.
– Short circuiting of the electrical systems.
– EVAP (Evaporative Emission Control
System) malfunction.

If the vehicle is stuck into deep water, do
