When a session has not started, compare the light with the schedule and the charger display. A steady red light is listed as a charge or discharge fault, so check the messages and the manual before trying another session. Flashing blue is the state shown for external discharging.

The manual lists two settings under New Energy → Energy Manager → Range display mode. Standard uses the vehicle’s test-cycle figure. Dynamic uses consumption and can adjust the estimate as driving mode, air conditioning and driving habits change. The car remembers the selected mode after a restart.

When comparing two readings, record the display mode, battery percentage and recent energy consumption together. A change in the displayed distance alone tells you how the estimate moved. For trip planning, allow a margin for the conditions you expect on the route.
