Regenerative braking system limitations

Regenerative braking intensity cannot be changed using the paddle shifter in the following situations when:

  • The + and - paddle shifters are pulled at the same time.

  • The vehicle is decelerating by pressing the brake pedal.

  • Smart Cruise Control is activated.

Depending on the charging state of the battery and motor (overcharge, high/low temperature), the use of the system may be limited. Check the road conditions ahead and press the brake pedal for deceleration if necessary.

Initial setting of the regenerative braking level differs according to the selected Drive mode.

System limitation warning

Regenerative braking not available. Battery fully charged

2C_RehabilitationBrakingLimitedInfo

Regenerative braking is temporarily limited to protect the battery because the high voltage battery is fully charged.

  • Hydraulic braking using the brake pedal can be used normally.

  • Regenerative braking limitation lasts longer if the battery temperature is too low or too high.

Regeneration shift paddle conditions not met

2C_RehabilitationBrakingDisabledInfo

The system is limited and a warning appears in the following situations. Use the system again after normal driving.

  • When the motor or battery temperature is high/low or there is transmission malfunction.

  • When regenerative braking is operated whilst ABS, Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control is activated.
