What does the turtle symbol mean in electric vehicles?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles displaying a turtle symbol indicate that the vehicle has encountered a fault but can still operate, with speed limited to 10 km/h to facilitate driving to a repair shop. Precautions for using electric vehicles are as follows: 1. Regular inspections: If the driving range of a new energy vehicle suddenly drops significantly, it is highly likely that at least one battery in the pack has developed a problem. In such cases, you should immediately head to a repair shop for timely resolution. 2. Avoid overcharging: New energy vehicles must avoid overcharging, over-discharging, and insufficient charging, as these can shorten battery life. During use, charging time and frequency should be determined based on actual vehicle conditions. If the battery indicator light comes on, charge as soon as possible to prevent over-discharging, which can affect battery life. Additionally, charging time should not be excessively long to avoid overcharging, which can cause the battery to overheat. If the battery temperature exceeds 65°C during charging, stop charging immediately to prevent hazards. 3. Gentle acceleration: When starting a new energy vehicle, avoid hard acceleration as it can cause high-current discharge from the battery. High-current discharge can lead to the formation of lead sulfate crystals, damaging the physical properties of the battery plates and reducing service life.
