Yeah... not sure if I tapped into the reserve or not. I was in range mode but the charge mode was standard... not sure if that is relevant though. I didn't perform any action to access reserve charge (isn't it necessary to turn the key or something to get to that last 10%? Thought I read that somewhere).
hmm, perhaps I should talk to the spanish goverment that they take back your plates and give you some more time to reread the manual ?:crying:
Of course I'm kidding because the manual is not clear about that :wink::biggrin:
While driving in "Range Mode" you get no warnings about tapping into the reserve. The only hint is, that you see "Range unknown" at the VDS, from there you are in the land of unknown range and you were lucky to get to your garage.
While driving in Standard or Performance Mode you got some warnings, first is power reduction, then several warnings that you should switch to Range Mode. If you don't switch to Range Mode the car finally automatically slows down and stops, then you have to turn the key to get the final reserve and you are again in the land of unknown range.
If you have a new battery you can assume that you have max. 40 km final reserve, but with an older battery the final reserve is shrinking, so be careful with the reserve :wink:
btw the drive modes Standard, Performance and Range have nothing to do with the charging modes Storage, Standard, Range and Performance.
