Chevrolet VOLT Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
9807421) - 2017 - CRC - 11/18/15
Driving and Operating 191
The controller interprets the braking
request and uses regenerative
braking, conventional hydraulic
braking, or a combination of both as
necessary.
The brake controller applies the
hydraulic brakes using a pump. The
pump may be heard during some
braking, such as rapid applies. This
is normal.
See Warning Lights, Gauges, and
Indicators 0 101 and Driver
Information Center (DIC) 0 130.
If there is a controller problem, the
brake pedal may be harder to push
and the stopping distance may be
longer.
Regen on Demand
®
Regen on Demand allows increased
deceleration by pressing and
holding the steering wheel paddle.
It works in D (Drive) and L (Low).
The accelerator pedal must be fully
released for it to work.
The brake pedal must be applied at
low speed, because Regen on
Demand will not bring the car to a
full stop.
Cruise control will turn off, and the
brake lights may come on, when
this feature is activated.
The brake controller applies the
hydraulic brakes using a pump. You
may hear the pump during some
braking maneuvers, such as rapid
brake applies or while replacing any
regenerative brake torque as the
vehicle comes to a stop. This is
normal operation.
