Range assistant

The range assistant provides the driver with general information and assistance to assist with more economical driving.

The factors that the driver can primarily influence to extend the range are speed, driving style, and climate settings. Each factor has a meter that indicates the energy use. When the meter changes color from white to red, drivers should review their energy use for more economical driving.

Speed: The average speed of the vehicle in the last minute.

Driving style: Acceleration and braking behavior in the last few minutes.

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

Next to the estimated range are two numbers indicating the 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 control system off.

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

The 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 when driving uphill.

Optimizing range

The range optimization function adjusts the climate settings to save energy and thus extend the vehicle's range.

Activate or deactivate range optimization via the center display.
Tap PS2_2007_App view symbol.
Select Range assistant.
Activate or deactivate Eco climate.

Range Assistant Settings

In the Range Assistant app in the center display, you can set what range to display.

The setting changes the range in all places in and outside the vehicle where range is displayed, except in the Range Assistant app, where dynamic range is always shown. Range is shown in, for example, the instrument panel and the center display.
