carrozzeria "Car navigation for EV / PHV" (2012 model)
AVIC-MRZ007-EV、AVIC-EVZ05
The AV memory integrated navigation for EV (Electric Vehicle) and PHV (Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle). Pioneer's proprietary technology for the environment such as "power consumption estimation technology" and "route algorithm" added with "Smart Loop" enables comfort and support to eco-drive EVs and PHVs with high environmental performance. Eliminates anxieties from batteries running out, contributing to promote EV.
Main environmentally friendly factors
| Dedicated Eco Route Search for EV (Electric Vehicle) | In addition to the number of environmental awards received for "Eco Route Search," vehicles equipped with the technology combining EV characteristics reduces power consumption. |
|---|---|
| Estimated cruising range display (AVIC-MRZ007-EV only) | The amoeboid cruising range estimation with consideration to road conditions is displayed, where the display is possible in 2 modes as fully charged or 50% charged. |
| Charging location search | In addition to charging location guidance, type of charging as rapid or regular, or information regarding charging location as "occupied" or "vacant" is possible. |
| Eco-status function | As efficient driving support, functions as "instantaneous power consumption rate" and "average power consumption rate"; comparison of the average power consumption amount with the past average; or the "e brake rate" may be confirmed. |
| Also compatible with PHV (Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle) | Functions attributable for EV such as "estimated cruising range display" and "Eco route search" may also be used for PHV. |
