Using Regenerative Braking System

Operating paddle shifter

Operate the paddle shifter as shown below to use the regenerative braking system.

2C_PaddleShift

  • Pull the left paddle shifter (°) once to raise the regenerative braking intensity level by 1. It increases decelerating intensity.

  • Pull the right paddle shifter (²) once to lower the regenerative braking intensity level by 1. It decreases decelerating intensity.

  • Pull and hold the left paddle shifter (°) for over 0.5 seconds to keep raising the regenerative braking intensity level. Holding the paddle shifter uses maximum regeneration to slow the vehicle to a stop, like a hand brake. (For more information, refer to the "One Pedal Driving" section in this chapter.)

  • While the smart regeneration system is turned on, pull and hold the right paddle shifter (²) for over 1 second to turn off the smart regeneration system. (For more information, refer to the "Smart Regeneration System" section in this chapter.)

Checking the amount of regenerative braking

2C_RegenerationBrakeLevelInfo

The selected regenerative braking level appears on the instrument cluster.

  • When the vehicle is turned off and on again after the regenerative braking level is in 0, the braking level is changed to 1.

  • When the vehicle is turned off and on again after the i-PEDAL is on, the braking level is changed to 3.
