Coasting energy recovery

Coasting Energy Recovery converts part of the kinetic energy during braking or coasting into electrical energy for the battery, thereby extending the vehicle's range. The driver can enable or disable coasting energy recovery via the central console display. When energy recovery is enabled, the higher the recovery rate, the stronger the braking sensation when releasing the accelerator pedal.

WARNING

◆ If the vehicle begins to roll on a slope, press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The driver is responsible for constantly monitoring the vehicle's condition to avoid potential accidents. ◆ The deceleration caused by energy recovery cannot replace conventional braking. You must press the brake pedal for deceleration and stopping. ◆ Use the energy recovery function cautiously when driving on icy or snowy roads to prevent vehicle skidding.

Gear shifting

P: parking gear

R: reverse gear

N: neutral gear

D: drive gear

Switch on the vehicle power supply, close the doors, fasten the seat belt, depress the brake pedal, and rotate the rotary shifter to the desired gear. After the gearshifting, the current gear information will be displayed in the instrument panel.

After the vehicle comes to a full stop, press the "P" button to shift to "P" position. Then the EPB is automatically enabled.

WARNING

◆ Never allow the vehicle to coast in neutral gear. ◆ During temporary stop in "N" gear, be sure to apply the parking brake or step on the brake pedal; otherwise the vehicle may slide, causing an accident.

NOTE

◆ When the vehilce is not completely stationary, for shifting from "D/R/N", the rotary shifter shall be moved and held for no less than 2 s. Otherwise, shifting to N will fail.
