General driver information

Anticipatory driving

An inconsistent driving style increases consumption. When the driver actively pays attention to traffic, this can prevent frequent acceleration and braking maneuvers. Maintaining enough distance to the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle driving ahead helps you to drive with better anticipation.

Avoiding full acceleration

Excessively high speeds increase the rolling resistance and air resistance and with that, the power needed to move the vehicle. Never drive at the maximum vehicle speed.

Checking tire pressures

Low tire pressures cause wear as well as increased rolling resistance of tires, and this increases consumption. Use tires with optimal rolling resistance.

Adapt the tire pressures to the load:

  • Follow the specifications on the tire pressure label (→ Tire pressure) .

  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (→ Tire Pressure Monitoring System) .

WARNING

If you drive at high speed and without sufficient safety distance, accidents and serious or fatal injuries can result.

  • Always adapt your speed and remain a safe distance to Volkswagen ID.3 vehicles driving ahead according to the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions.
