Important limits

  • One-Pedal Driving is a driver aid, not a replacement for the brake pedal.
  • Regenerative deceleration can be reduced when the battery is nearly full or very cold.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If slowing is weaker than expected, use the brake pedal and consider battery state of charge and temperature.
  • ✓If the setting is unavailable, confirm this is an Equinox EV and that no vehicle message is restricting regenerative braking.
