Regenerative braking mode
Operation
-
Pull the left side (-) of the paddle shifter to increase regenerative braking and deceleration.
-
Pull the right side (+) of the paddle shifter to decrease regenerative braking and deceleration.
Pull and hold the right side (+) of the paddle shifter to turn on or off smart regeneration system.
-
The initial setting will be set to 0 when the vehicle is in D (Drive) and in ECO mode.
-
If the vehicle changes to P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral) or manual mode (shift lever), or vehicle is in SPORT or TERRAIN mode (if equipped), the vehicle regenerative braking system control will not be operated. Resetting the vehicle in D (Drive) will set the regenerative system settings to the previously set steps.
-
ABS and ESC will deactivate the regenerative system.
-
Even if the setting for regenerative braking system is identical, it might feel different due to various vehicle speeds. (the higher speed, the less deceleration feeling)
-
The regenerative braking system can be controlled
-
when the vehicle is nearly stopped in D (Drive).
-
when you are not depressing brake pedal whilst the vehicle is driving in D (Drive).
-
Regenerative braking uses motor’s power to conserve energy to the high-voltage battery when braking to gain more fuel economy and higher efficiency.
Battery charged, Regenerative braking mode deactivated
A: Recuperative braking not available. Battery fully charged.
The message will appear when the high-voltage battery amount is charged enough.
Regenerative braking mode by paddle shifter not activated
A: Recuperation shift paddle conditions not met.
The message will appear when:
-
When the battery is in high or low temperature
-
When the battery or transmission is not functioning properly
