What does the turtle warning light on the Ora R1 mean?

The turtle warning light on the Ora R1 indicates a low battery condition. Below is some knowledge about the Ora R1: 1. Introduction: The Ora R1, generally referred to as the Ora Black Cat, is a new energy vehicle built on the ME platform, China's first dedicated electric vehicle platform developed by Great Wall Motors. The Ora Black Cat was designed under the guidance of international aesthetics master Nakajima Kei, combining full-bodied surfaces with minimalist elements to convey the clean and crisp aesthetics of Ora design. 2. Exterior: The Ora Black Cat features minimalist design elements, equipped with LED daytime running lights and integrated door handles. The front face adopts a design with dual round lights and a closed front grille, with the lower air intake and LED daytime running lights also featuring rounded rectangular elements. The rear of the car continues the front's rounded and cute shape while maintaining a sense of layering.
I've been driving the Ora R1 for almost two years and have encountered the situation where the small turtle warning light came on. It actually indicates that the vehicle has entered limp mode, where the power is limited, making the car move very slowly like a little turtle crawling. This often occurs due to battery issues such as low voltage or overheating, or when a software bug causes system errors. Once during a long summer drive, the light suddenly came on, and I immediately pulled over to check, finding that the battery cooling fan had failed, triggering the warning due to high temperature. My advice is not to panic when you see the light come on; instead, drive at low speed to a safe place immediately and avoid continuing at high speeds to prevent damage to the motor or other components. It's also good practice to regularly check the battery's health, avoid aggressive acceleration right after charging, and schedule regular maintenance at the 4S store to prevent such incidents from affecting driving safety and daily convenience.
