Abstract
A vehicle includes: a display, and a controller configured to control the display to output a visual indication for inducing selection of a predetermined first driving mode in response to a charge amount of a battery being greater than or equal to a predetermined value when at least one of location information of the vehicle or destination information of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition.
Claims14
A vehicle, comprising:
- at least one of an internal combustion engine or a motor;
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the display to output a visual indication for inducing selection of a predetermined first driving mode in response to a charge amount of a battery being greater than or equal to a predetermined value when at least one of location information of the vehicle or destination information of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition;
- control the display to output the visual indication for inducing selection of the first driving mode upon determining that the charge amount of the battery is greater than or equal to the predetermined value when any other vehicle sharing a location with the vehicle selects the first driving mode;
- and
- switch to the first driving mode based on a selection by a driver and to control to output maximum power,
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- calculate the charge amount of the battery after driving based on circuit information received from a server;
- and
- generate a second driving mode in which the first driving mode is activated only in a straight section of a circuit based on the circuit information.

A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether at least one of location information of the vehicle or destination information of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition;
- determining, if satisfied, whether a charge amount of a battery is greater than or equal to a predetermined value;
- controlling a display to output a visual indication for inducing selection of a predetermined first driving mode in response to the charge amount of the battery being greater than or equal to the predetermined value;
- controlling to switch to the first driving mode based on a selection by a driver and to control to output maximum power;
- and
- controlling the display to output the visual indication for inducing selection of the first driving mode upon determining that the charge amount of the battery is greater than or equal to the predetermined value when any other vehicle sharing a location with the vehicle selects the first driving mode,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- calculating the charge amount of the battery after driving based on circuit information;
- and
- generating a second driving mode in which the first driving mode is activated only in a straight section of a circuit based on the circuit information.
