Stability control malfunction  
If your car notices a stability control malfunction, it will notify you with a symbol and a message in the driver display. The mes-  
sage and symbol depend on the nature and severity of the detected fault. If the electronic stability control symbol is continu-  
ously shown instead of flashing, this could indicate a stability control malfunction.  
Be sure to read and follow any instructions in the message. It is recommended to address any ESC malfunctions as soon as  
possible, although it is possible to drive the car with disabled ESC.  
Tip  
Some ESC malfunctions may only be temporary. You can try turning your car off and then turning it back on to see if the  
message persists. If the message disappears, the malfunction was only temporary.  
Warning  
Stability control features are supplements to safe driving practices. They do not reduce or replace the need for the driver  
to stay attentive and focused on driving safely. Drive the car with the same attention to safety as required by a car without  
the ability to intervene.

The shock absorbers are gas pressurised. Do not heat or open the shock absorbers.  
Suspension-related faults  
If your car notices a suspension-related fault, it will notify you with a symbol and a message in one or more of the displays. The  
message and symbol depend on the nature and severity of the detected fault. Be sure to read and follow any instructions in the  
message.

Your car's expected range is shown in the driver display and depends on several factors.  
Your range is primarily related to your car's battery level and your driving practices but external conditions can also be a factor.  
The battery level and expected range are displayed in the driver display. The expected range is calculated based on your driving  
pattern, both current and historical.  
Factors that affect your car's range  
How you drive your car, which settings or features are active, weather conditions and traffic can all affect your car's range in dif-  
ferent ways.  
Driving at higher speeds drains the battery more.  
Speed  
Depending on your selected drive mode, your battery consumption may be affected.  
Varying your speed by frequently accelerating and braking will increase your battery consumption compared to keeping a constant speed.  
Drive mode  
City driving and traffic  
situation  
Keep track of your driving with help of the range assistant to drive as economically as possible.  
The outside temperature can affect your battery consumption and range.  
Eco driving  
Outside temperature  
Battery temperature  
Preconditioning  
A cold battery is less efficient and needs more energy to be heated.  
By preconditioning your car, you can decrease the energy used to heat it up as well as the battery. This can be done in the climate settings.  
Which climate features are activated and to what extent affects your battery consumption.  
Tyre condition and tyre pressure can affect your range.  
Climate settings  
Tyres and tyre pressure  
The condition of the road, along with any potential slopes, can affect your range.  
Road condition and  
topography  
Towing a trailer demands more power from your car and will therefore adversely affect battery consumption. This is relative to the type of  
trailer being towed.  
Towing  
If you want to know more about your car's range and how you can affect it you can have a look in the range assistant app,  
which is accessed in the app library  
.
Range in cold temperatures  
Your car's battery can be negatively affected by cold temperatures. When the car has a cold battery, a snowflake  
appears  
next to the battery range. This indicates that the battery’s charge capacity and range are reduced compared to normal condi-  
tions. You can avoid this by always charging your car while it's parked, which can prove especially useful if you are parking in a  
cold climate.  
When the battery warms up, for example during preconditioning of the car or when driving, the snowflake disappears from the  
driver display.  
Factory reset and range value

After a factory reset, or when the car is delivered from the factory, the estimated range is based on a certified value. After driving  
your car for a while, the estimated range is instead based on your historical driving patterns.  
8.5.1. Range assistant  
The range assistant app can provide you with an overview of your range and energy consumption. This can  
help you to maintain eco driving.  
You can view your current range and energy consumption in the range assistant app, which is accessed in the app library  
The estimated range is calculated on your driving style and the current driving conditions. In addition to this, the calculated  
.
maximum and minimum range values are shown next to the estimated range value. These indicate your possible range, based  
on high and low consumption.  
Calculation based on typical city driving with the climate system turned off.  
Calculation based on high speed driving with the climate system turned on.  
Maximum range  
Minimum range  
Your speed, climate settings and driving style all affect how much range you get. It could therefore be a good idea to keep track  
of your energy consumption based on these three factors if you want to maintain economical driving.  
Your average speed during the last minute.  
Speed  
Your acceleration and braking behaviour during the last few minutes.  
The expected average energy consumption from your current climate settings.  
Driving style  
Climate  
Your consumption is shown differently depending on the situation. When you are in motion it is based on distance, and when  
you are stationary it is based on time. The value always reflect your current consumption rate, therefore increasing during ac-  
tions such as fast acceleration or uphill driving.  
Range optimiser  
You can also activate the range optimiser in the range assistant app. The range optimiser sets up the car to help you maximise  
range by lowering the energy consumption. When active, it enables the eco climate setting and adjusts power delivery perform-  
ance to prioritise range over power. It also limits the batteries pre-heating before fast charging.
