If the front radar recognizes the vehicle
in
front, 'AUTO' is displayed in blue. The
regenerative braking level is automati‐
cally controlled depending on the driv‐
ing condition of the vehicle in front and
the level is indicated with arrows.
However, current regenerative braking
level is maintained if the driver depres‐
ses the brake pedal while the system is
in activation. Also, the system is cancel‐
led temporarily if the accelerator pedal
is depressed.
WARNING
The Smart Regeneration System
which
automatically controls the re‐
generative braking level when coast‐
ing is only a supplemental system
for the driver's convenience. The
system cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions. The
brake control may be insufficient de‐
pending on the speed of the vehicle

situations from occurring.
