DRIVING
REGENERATIVE BRAKE LEVEL CONTROL PADDLES
The paddle shifters are used to adjust
the regenerative braking level
(intensity).
• Each pull-and-release of the left side
paddle increases the regenerative
braking level (and deceleration) one
level, to a maximum level of ‘3’.
• Each pull-and-release of the right-
side paddle decreases the
regenerative braking level (and
deceleration) one level, to a minimum
level of ‘0’.
• Pull and hold the left side paddle for
more than 0.5 seconds and the One
Pedal Driving function is activated,
increasing regenerative braking.
When it is activated, stopping the
vehicle is possible by continuing to
pull on the paddle shifter until the
vehicle stops.
NOTE: There is an available “Smart Automatic Regeneration” mode that
can be engaged by pulling back and holding the right paddle shifter for
more than 0.5 seconds. When engaged, this feature will automatically
adjust regenerative braking to slow the vehicle down as it approaches
traffic. Refer to the owner’s manual for more detailed information.
The paddle shifters will not operate when:
• The two paddle shifters are pulled at the same time.
• The Smart Cruise Control system is activated.
If level 0 is selected for the regenerative braking system, the brake disc
cleaning function is activated and will last for the next 10 successive
brake applications.
Q. What are the advantages of regenerative braking?
A.
Regenerative braking is a technology in which the electric motor
connects to the generator to charge the battery during deceleration
and braking. Using regenerative braking reduces energy loss and
extends the drivable range, resulting in increased electric energy
efficiency. It is good to use regenerative braking in urban areas where
braking is frequent.
Level Description
1-3
The higher the regenerative braking level during
coasting, the greater the vehicle deceleration and
battery charging amount (regenerative amount).
0
The brake disc cleaning feature will run about
10 times. During operation, regenerative braking
performance may be reduced. Because of this, the
electric energy efficiency may decrease.
NOTE:
Depending on the drive mode (COMFORT/ECO/SPORT), there
are different levels of regenerative braking that you can use. For more
information, see "Regenerative braking system" in the owner's manual.
Q. There is a feeling of deceleration during regenerative
braking, is that normal?
A.
When regenerative braking is active, the vehicle will slow down
(decelerate) more rapidly when coasting (when the foot is taken off the
accelerator pedal).
NOTE:
Pulling and holding the (+) paddle shifter while coasting will
activate the one pedal driving feature, resulting in MAX regeneration
braking, which can bring the vehicle to an eventual stop. For more
information, see "One pedal driving" in the owner's manual.
Q. How does regenerative braking differ by level?
A.
There are four levels (from 0 to 3) of regenerative braking, and you can
change the levels using the paddle shifter (
+
,
) on either side
of the steering wheel.
i-PEDAL
i-Pedal is controlled by acceleration pedal. i-Pedal provides vehicle
speed control (acceleration/deceleration, stopping) without manually
controlling the paddle shifter.
To operate:
• Pull the left paddle shifter when regenerative braking system is set
to level 3.
• During the activation of i-Pedal, the vehicle is stopped when the vehicle
speed is less than 1 mph (3 km/h) even if the brake pedal is not pressed.
• I-Pedal indicator will illuminate in the instrument cluster.
