Automatic recuperation
●
Select mode D on the gear selector lever.
●
Activate the automatic recuperation ECO as-
sist ›››page173.
The instrument cluster display shows A.
●
Pressing the steering wheel levers or tem-
porarily activates the manual selection of the
energy recuperation level.›››Fig.107 Auto-
matic recuperation is reactivated by pressing
the accelerator pedal again.
When automatic recuperation is selected
›››page173, the only possible way that the
steering wheel levers react is for retention.
Note
The steering wheel levers will not perform
any function in the following cases:
●
While pressing the accelerator with ECO
Assist activated.
●
Gear selector in position B.
●
ACC activated.
●
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
automatic recuperation adjusts the braking
energy recuperation intensity to suit the cur-
rent driving situation.
●
Automatic recuperation can also take
place in Mode B of the gear selector lever
with the ACC switched on. The instrument
cluster displays A.
Selecting the recuperation level manually
●
Select mode D on the gear selector lever.
●
Deactivate the automatic recuperation ECO
assist ›››page173.
●
Select the energy recuperation level with the
steering wheel levers or ›››Fig.107.

Tap to choose a higher recuperation
level.
–
Tap to choose a lower recuperation level.
Note
If no recuperation level is selected, the vehi-
cle will move without recuperation braking
after the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic recuperation
When in manual recuperation mode, the in-
strument cluster will display a warning about
the recuperation level.
Selecting mode
B on the gear selector lever
provides a level of recuperation each time the
accelerator pedal is released equivalent to the
high recuperation level.
Selecting Performance or CUPRA driving
mode automatically activates the medium re-
cuperation level. This recuperation level is ac-
tivated each time the accelerator pedal is re-
leased and remains active until a recuperation
level is selected with the steering wheel levers.
Note
●
The more the high-voltage battery is
charged: the less braking power the recuper-
ation system will have.
●
Recuperation also takes place when the
brake pedal is depressed.
WARNING
High recuperation of braking energy can
cause a loss of traction or the vehicle to skid,
especially on slippery roads. This can cause
loss of control of the vehicle and lead to acci-
dents and serious or fatal injuries.
●
Activate high recuperation of braking en-
ergy continuously only if visibility, weather,
road and traic conditions permit, and if
other road users are not at risk due to your
vehicle's deceleration behaviour and driving
style.
