the vehicle’s range. Drivers should use performance
mode only when acceleration is a priority.
As the green line and caret mark a limit in the
amount of power available, they do not appear in
performance mode.
If equipped, boost mode is available in performance
mode.
Range Mode
In range driving mode there is an overall maximum
vehicle speed limit of 55 mph (88 kph), HVAC
performance is reduced, and boost mode is
unavailable. This mode consumes the least energy
and is for when the vehicle range is the primary
concern.
As in economy mode, the power available is marked
by a green line and caret on the power gauge.
If the high-voltage batteries drop to a 15 percent
SOC while in performance or economy mode, the
vehicle automatically transitions into range mode.
When transitioned into range mode by a low SOC,
the power gauge reduction is marked by an amber
line and caret.
Boost Mode
Boost mode is used when there is a need to
increase speed to pass or merge, or increase power
to move a stationary vehicle forward on a steep
grade. Both economy and performance driving
modes can come with boost mode.
Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
(kick-down) to activate boost mode.
The boost status meter appears on the power gauge
as shown in
It displays the current boost power available as a
white line. If no boost power is available the boost
status meter appears grey. When boost mode is
active, the boost status meter displays the power use
as an amber line.
Normal Operation
The needle on the driver display power gauge, as
shown in
shows how much available
power is being used. When regenerative braking is
active, the needle moves to the left of the zero; the
trailing blue-white bar shows how much power is
being fed to the batteries.
It’s normal for the ePowertrain to experience
reductions of power due to a variety of conditions,
including:
•
high ambient temperature,
•
low ambient temperature,
•
a high state of charge,
•
a low state of charge.
If the loss of available power is connected to a
diagnostic trouble code, take the vehicle to an
authorized Freightliner service provider.
Predicted Range
NOTE: The predicted range display can be
turned off at an authorised Freightliner dealer.
The predicted range at the base of the speedometer,
as shown in
is a guideline.
The number is based on the high-voltage batteries
current SOC, current vehicle weight and speed, and
travel history. The predicted range on a brand new
vehicle is less accurate than on a vehicle that has
been in service.
The actual range is affected by terrain, changing
vehicle loads, changing vehicle speeds, driving
