Regenerative braking mode

OSG2H096009L_2
OOVQ015036

  • 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.

  • The selected regenerative braking level will be displayed on the instrument cluster.

CAUTION

  • 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 vehicle is in SPORT mode, the vehicle's regenerative braking mode control will not be operated. Resetting the vehicle in D (Drive) will set the regenerative braking mode settings to the previously set steps.

  • ABS and ESC will deactivate the regenerative braking mode.

  • The regenerative braking mode can be controlled:

    • When the vehicle is nearly stopped in D (Drive).

    • When you are not engaging brake pedal while the vehicle is in D (Drive).

NOTE

Regenerative braking mode uses motor’s power to conserve energy to the high voltage battery when braking to gain more fuel economy and higher efficiency.

TIP

The initial setting of the regenerative braking level differs according to the selected DRIVE MODE.

For more information, refer to Drive mode integrated control system.

Limitations of regenerative braking system

Regenerative braking intensity cannot be adjusted using the paddle shifters in the following situations:

  • When both the left side ( ) and right side ( ) of paddle shifters are pulled at the same time.

  • When the vehicle is decelerating with the brake pedal enegaged.

  • When Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is activated.

Instrument cluster display for warning message

The instrument cluster displays each of the following warning messages when applicable:

Message

Description

Recuperative braking not available. Battery fully charged.

The message will appear when the high voltage battery amount is charged enough.

Recuperation shift paddle conditions not met.

The message will appear when:

  • When the high voltage battery is in high or low temperature

  • When the high voltage battery or transmission is not functioning properly

  • Regenerative braking mode is activated

  • Regenerative braking mode is activated while ABS/Cruise Control (CC)/Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is operating
NOTE

Drive normally and use the regenerative braking mode again to dismiss the warning message.
