Regenerative braking change
paddles 1 and 2
You can use paddles 1 and 2 to
change the regenerative braking level
when the lever is in D position.
1 : increases regenerative braking (-).
2 : decreases regenerative braking (+).
The paddles can only be used while
the lever is in D position.
It is not possible to use the paddles
whileadaptivecruisecontrolisactivat-
ed 🡺252.
Byreleasingtheaccelerator,thevehi-
cle uses regenerative braking to slow
down the vehicle.
Some of this energy is converted to
electricitytorechargethetractionbat-
tery.
The engine brake should
under no circumstances
be used as a substitute
for the brake pedal.
Regenerative braking levels
The 3 warning light informs you of the
regenerative braking level:
– A : "Free-wheel" level for gentle,
economical driving. Requires driving
with anticipation;
– B : low regenerative braking level;
– C : average regenerative braking
level;
– D : maximum regenerative braking
level.
If the traction battery is no longer able
to absorb energy (e.g. fully charged or
cold battery), the conventional braking

tions.
