REGENERATIVE BRAKING

The regenerative braking system charges the battery when coasting or when you use the brakes to stop the vehicle. Use the paddle switches to adjust the regenerative braking level from 0 to 3 during decelerating or braking. The level will be displayed on the Instrument Cluster .

  • Pull the left paddle switch to increase regenerative braking and deceleration
  • Pull the right paddle switch to decrease regenerative braking and deceleration

The paddle switches do not operate when:

  • Both paddle switches are pulled at the same time
  • The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal
  • Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is active

i-Pedal

i-Pedal driving controls the vehicle speed by the accelerator pedal, both acceleration and deceleration.

To activate i-Pedal:

  • Pull the left side paddle switch to Level 3 regenerative braking (see indicator on Instrument Cluster)
  • Then pull the left side paddle switch once again when the regenerative braking level is set to Level 3

The i-Pedal indicator symbol will be illuminated on the Instrument Cluster.

Quick Tips:

Each of the different Drive Modes allows the regenerative braking level to be set at the driver’s preference.

Reminders:
  • The driver’s seat belt must be fastened to operate i-Pedal driving
  • i-Pedal will reset after each vehicle power cycle

One Pedal Driving

One-Pedal Driving increases the regenerative braking amount to above level 3 and may slow the vehicle down by pulling down the left switch.

  • Pull and hold the left paddle switch while coasting to activate One-Pedal Driving
  • When the vehicle speed is above 2 mph, release the left paddle switch for less than 0.5 seconds to return to the previously set level of regenerative braking
  • When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph, One-Pedal Driving can stop the vehicle even though the left paddle switch is released

Reminders:

The driver’s seat belt must be fastened to operate one-pedal driving.

Smart Regeneration System

This system is designed to automatically adjust the regenerative braking level based on a vehicle being detected in front and road conditions.

  • Activate Smart Regeneration in the Electric Vehicle Settings on the Infotainment System by pressing SETUP, VEHICLE and ECO VEHICLE, and then SMART REGENERATION. AUTO will be displayed on the Instrument Cluster.
  • Pull and hold the right paddle switch for more than 1 second to turn on/off the automatic change of the regenerative braking. The minimum regenerative braking level can be adjusted when in AUTO mode by using the left and right paddle switches

Do not solely rely on i-pedal driving to stop the vehicle, as it may not be able to stop the vehicle depending on vehicle and road conditions. Always use pedal braking when necessary. Pay attention to the road condition ahead and apply the brake if necessary.

For more information on regenerative braking, i-Pedal driving or the Smart Regeneration System, please refer to section 6 in the Owner’s Manual.

Smart Regeneration is a supplemental system for the driver’s convenience. Do not solely rely on this system to stop the vehicle or avoid collisions. Always cautiously look ahead to prevent unexpected or sudden situations.
