8.4 Vehicle Approach Zone Functionality
All Geofence zones whether Mandatory or Custom zones will have an approach zone covering 1 mile / 1.6 km automatically added to them. In this approach zone the “Custom GeoPHEV” device will behave as follows:
a) If entering the approach zone with >60% battery State of Charge the vehicle will remain in it’s current mode until entering the Geofence Zone
b) If entering the approach zone with between 40% and 60% State of Charge the vehicle will go into EV Later mode until entering the Geofence Zone
c) If entering the approach zone with less than 40% State of Charge the vehicle will go into EV Charge mode until entering the Geofence Zone
Driving the vehicle with the “Custom GeoPHEV” device active while within the approach zone (1 mile or 1.6 kilometres of a geofenced zone) may increase vehicle CO emissions. Please be mindful of this when creating or modifying custom Geofence zones.
