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). The level will be displayed on the Instrument Cluster .

Pull the left paddle switch to increase regenerative braking and deceleration. Pull and hold to reach the MAX level
Pull the right paddle switch to decrease regenerative braking and deceleration. Pull and hold to reach Smart Regeneration System (AUTO)

The paddle shifters do not operate when:

Both paddle switches are pulled at the same time
The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is active
When the SOC gauge shows a high level
If there is a restriction by the vehicle system
When the drive mode is switched from SPORT to ECO

Smart Regeneration System

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

To activate Smart Regeneration, pull and hold the right paddle switch or go to Vehicle Settings on the Infotainment System. Press the SETUP button or SETUP on the screen, VEHICLE and ECO VEHICLE. Then SMART RECUPERATION.

The AUTO indicator light will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster to indicate the Regenerative Braking is on.

Quick Tips:

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

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.

Button configuration may vary. Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.
