Regenerative braking system

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 the cruise control CRUISE CONTROL or adaptive cruise control is activated ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL.
By releasing the accelerator, the vehicle uses regenerative braking to slow down the vehicle.
Some of this energy is converted to electricity to recharge the traction battery.
WARNING
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 system replaces the regenerative braking system while maintaining its functions.
However, the pedal may appear more depressed and feel firmer. This is normal.
To limit this effect, use the regenerative braking levels A and B.
