Regenerative Braking (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.
-
The control level will be started at 0 when the engine start. It will activate only in D (Drive) range.
-
If you operate the shift lever (to P, R, N/Sport), Regen B mode will be canceled and if you return to D (Drive) range, the Regen B mode will be returned to 0 level.
-
Regen B mode will be canceled when ABS, ESC operate.
-
The speed decrement may different depends on the vehicle speed even in the same Regen B level. (The speed decrement in each level is bigger in the city driving than that of highway driving.)
The vehicle does not completely stop by using paddle shifter lever. When the Regen B power reduced, the vehicle slowly moves about 10 km/h. In order to stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal.
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.
-
Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control is activated.
Usage of the function may be limited according to the battery and motor’s condition. (over charge, high and low temperature) Check traffic and driving condition. If necessary, control the vehicle speed by yourself using brake pedal.
The selected regenerative braking level is displayed on the instrument cluster.

Regenerative braking not available. Battery fully charged
If SOC (State of High voltage battery Charge) is high, it is not possible to enable Regen B mode. Use the function again after normal driving.
Paddle switch regeneration conditions not met
-
If the motor and battery is in high/low temperature status or if there is a malfunction on battery and transmission, the warning message will be displayed.
-
If the vehicle entering the Regen B mode during the activation of ABS/Cruise Control/Smart Cruise Control, the warning message will be displayed.
Once the warning message is displayed, the usage of function will be temporarily limited. Use the function again after normal driving.
