Smart recuperation system 
operating condition
When the regenerative braking level 
is displayed as AUTO and the vehicle 
speed is above 10 km/h, the system will 
automatically control the regenerative 
braking level under the following 
conditions.
 - The road gradient changes 
 - Distance from the vehicle ahead 
reduces or increases 
 - Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or 
increases
 CAUTION
•  When the forward safety warning 
light is ON, the smart recuperation 
system does not work properly. 
Depress the brake pedal for 
deceleration. 
•  The function that adjusts the 
regenerative braking intensity 
depending on the road gradient is 
only effective when the regenerative 
braking level is 0. Braking intensity 
does not significantly change 
depending on the road gradient if 
the regenerative braking level is 1 or 
above.

The instrument cluster displays ‘AUTO’ 
(1) when the smart recuperation system 
is ON. Depending on the conditions, the 
system adjusts the regenerative braking 
level (2). The sky blue indicator light (3) 
illuminates when the vehicle recognizes 
a vehicle.
Smart recuperation default setting
The default braking level of the smart 
recuperation system can be changed. Set 
the default braking level to the lowest 
and let the system adjust the braking 
intensity automatically.
To change the default level of the smart 
recuperation system, pull the right 
paddle shift lever (
) once while the 
system is ON.
