Range assistant

The range assistant provides the driver with overview information and assistance in order to facilitate more economical driving.

Factors that the driver can primarily influence in order to extend the range include speed, driving style, and climate settings. Each factor has a meter that indicates current energy usage. When the gauge changes colour from blue to orange the driver should review his/her energy usage in order to adopt more economical driving behaviour.

P5P6-21w46-iCup-Range speed

Speed: The car's average speed during the last minute.

P5P6-21w46-iCup-Range driving style

Driving style: The acceleration and braking behaviour during the last few minutes.

P5P6-21w46-iCup-Range climate cool

Climate control: The estimated average consumption based on the current climatization settings.

Next to the estimated range, there are two numbers that indicate expected short and long range based on high and low consumption, respectively. These values are defined as:

Long range: Assumes typical city driving with climate system off.

Short range: Assumes motorway driving at high speed with the climate system on.

Consumption is shown in kWh/100 km when the vehicle is in motion and as kW (kWh/h) when stationary. The value is instantaneous and will therefore indicate high values during accelerations and up hills.

Optimising range

The range optimisation function adjusts the climate settings in order to save energy and therefore extend the range of the car.

Activate or deactivate range optimisation via the centre display
Press iCup-2037-App view symbol.
Select Range assistant.
Activating or deactivating range optimisation.

 Note

Range optimisation is automatically deactivated at 50% or higher State Of Charge (SOC).

 Note

In cold ambient temperatures, the output of the heater is reduced. If the climate feels too cold, deactivate range optimisation.

In hot ambient temperatures, cooling is limited. If the climate feels too hot, deactivate range optimisation.

Problems with misting may occur since the AC function that adjusts humidity is limited.

Since the AC function is limited, air recirculation increases, which may lead to a less comfortable feeling of air quality, especially in the rear seat.
