One Pedal Driving

One pedal driving operates the paddle shifter while coasting to control the intensity of regenerative braking. It assists the driver to stop the vehicle without depressing the brake pedal.

Coasting is the process of driving a vehicle without the brake pedal and the accelerator depressed. Coasting uses the inertia of driving energy instead of the vehicle power.

Using one pedal driving

Pull and hold the left paddle shifter (°) for over 1 seconds while coasting to enable the one pedal driving mode.

  • Release the paddle shifter when the vehicle speed is above 3 km/h (2 mph) to return to the previously set regenerative braking level.

  • If the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h (2 mph), the vehicle will keep engaging the brake although the driver releases the paddle shifter.

  • Releasing the paddle shifter after the vehicle comes to a stop maintains the vehicle stationary.

  • The vehicle may not come to a stop although the one pedal driving function is active, depending on the condition of the vehicle and the road. Check the surroundings and depress the brake pedal to decelerate.

  • If the driver depresses the accelerator while pulling and holding the left paddle shifter (°) to increase the braking level, one pedal driving function will work like i-PEDAL function. In this case, the vehicle speed is no longer controllable through the paddle shifter.

One pedal driving limitations

In the following conditions, the vehicle may not come to a stop although the one pedal driving function is active. Depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.

  • When driving on a slope, or when the vehicle is repeatedly driven and stopped.

  • When the vehicle is driving through the end of the slope.

  • When driving on a slippery surface such as an icy, rainy, or muddy road.

  • When the wheels are not properly aligned.

  • When a wheel slip or wheel spin occurs.

  • When the weight on board is too heavy.

  • When the vehicle is tilted to one side.

  • When the tire is worn out too much.

Automatic engagement of EPB

Use one pedal driving function to bring the vehicle to a stop and automatically engage the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB).

After the vehicle is stopped, EPB is automatically engaged when any of the following conditions are satisfied

  • The driver's seatbelt is unfastened and the driver's door is open.

  • The gear shifts to N (Neutral).

  • The hood is open.

  • The tailgate is open.

  • 5 minutes have passed after the vehicle has stopped.

  • One pedal driving is limited due to other reasons.
