Regenerative braking system
Regenerative braking adjustment with paddle shifter
The paddle shifter is used to adjust the regenerative braking level from 0 to 3 during decelerating or braking.
-
Left side (
): Increases regenerative braking and deceleration.
-
Right side (
): Decreases regenerative braking and deceleration.
Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter for more than 0.5 seconds and One Pedal Driving function is operated, increasing the regenerative braking. In this case, stopping the vehicle is possible by pulling the paddle shifter.
* Refer to More Details.
With the Smart Regeneration System activated, pull and hold the right side paddle shifter for over 1 second to turn on and off the automatic change of the regenerative braking. However, nothing will happen if the Smart Regeneration System is not activated from the User Settings mode. To activate or deactivate the function go to 'User settings → Convenience → Smart Regeneration' on the LCD.
* Refer to More Details.
The paddle shifter does not operate when:
-
The [
] and [] paddle shifters are pulled at the same time.
-
The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal.
-
The Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is activated.
The selected regenerative braking level is displayed on the instrument cluster.
Initial setting of the regenerative braking level and adjustable range vary according to the selected Drive mode.

One pedal driving
The driver can stop the vehicle by pulling and holding the left side paddle shifter.
The system enters the operating condition when the conditions below are met:
-
The driver's door is closed.
-
The driver's seat belt is fastened.
-
Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter while coasting.
-
When the vehicle speed is above 3 km/h (2 mph), release the paddle shifter to return to the previously set level.
-
When the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h (2 mph), the function maintains control to stop the vehicle even though the paddle shifter is released.
-
While the One pedal driving is in activation, the driver can control the vehicle stopping position using the accelerator pedal.
After the vehicle is stopped by the One Pedal Driving function, EPB is automatically engaged when any of these conditions occur:
-
The driver's door is open.
-
The driver's seatbelt is unfastened.
-
The hood is open.
-
The liftgate is open.
-
5 minutes have passed after the vehicle has stopped.
-
The system operation is limited due to other reasons.
-
Do not solely rely on one pedal driving to stop the vehicle. Stopping the vehicle may not be possible depending vehicle and road conditions. Pay attention to the road condition ahead and apply the brake if necessary.
-
Avoid increasing the regenerative braking level suddenly on slippery roads (like snow or icy conditions) because it may lead slipping of the tires and skidding of vehicle. It can be dangerous due to the loss of the vehicle's steering force.
