Aoa all. I had an amazing trip towards Kumrat in my Vezel 2016. car's odometer is at 168k and i have learnt a few things about this beast....
WHENEVER you are going UPHILL,, ALWAYS USE SPORTS MODE. the sports mode is a beautiful way of optimising power as well as powering up the HV Battery. if u keep driving uphill without Sports mode, ur HV battery will deplete to around 8% and this will have severe issues with car performance.
Whenever you r stuck on a hot day in traffic for long duration, Turn on the sports mode. same logic. Sports mode tends to keep the HV battery charged between 50 - 80 % while normal mode doesnt let it charge beyond 20%. in long term it is dangerous for HV Battery health
For manual transmission, use Sports mode. otherwise the ECU will shift back to the gear as per its own understanding..
In short, Sports mode is a beast mode which not only enhances the vehicle's performance but also turns n the best ECU mode for optimal working of all functions.
