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 shifter
to increase regenerative braking and deceleration - Pull the right paddle shifter
to decrease regenerative braking and deceleration - Pull and hold the right paddle shifterto turn on/off the Smart Regenerative system, which controls braking automatically based on the road gradient and the driving condition of the vehicle ahead
- Initially the regeneration braking will be set to 0 when the vehicle is in D (Drive) and in ECO mode.
The regeneration braking controls will not function if:
- The vehicle changes to P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral) or manual mode (shift lever)
- The vehicle is in SPORT or TERRAIN* mode
Quick Tips:
You can also activate Smart Regeneration on the Infotainment System by going to Setup, Vehicle, ECO Vehicle and then Smart Recuperation.
Reminders:
- ABS and ESC will deactivate the regenerative system
- Even at the same regenerative braking level, the feeling of the braking may vary depending on vehicle speed
- Regenerative braking can be controlled when the vehicle is nearly stopped in D (Drive) and when you are not pressing on the brakes while the vehicle is in D (Drive)
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.
