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.

Steering wheel illustration is for illustrative purposes only. Your actual steering wheel/buttons and/or features may differ.

Always use pedal braking when necessary. Pay attention to the road condition ahead and apply the brake if necessary.
