Driving Range Limit-Reduce Climate Usage Displays

The IPC  provides a driving range limit message center warning (get me home) message to inform the driver they may be traveling further from the home charge point than their remaining battery charge or DTE  will allow for a return trip. The APIM  continually calculates the distance to the primary charge point and compares this to the remaining DTE  . The driving range limit message center warning only displays once per ignition cycle.

The IPC  receives the return home message display input for the driving range limit (get me home) message from the APIM  over the Infotainment Controller Area Network (I-CAN).

The IPC  also provides a message center message to suggest the driver reduce the climate control usage to extend the driving range. The IPC  uses DTE  data, low battery charge warnings and climate control usage to determine whether there is a debt or surplus.

The IPC  receives vehicle range display data and climate power usage data messages from the GWM  over the Infotainment Controller Area Network (I-CAN). The GWM  receives the vehicle range display data and climate power usage data messages from the PCM  over the Electric Vehicle (EV) High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).
