Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
While driving in suitable conditions, locate the paddle behind the left side of the steering wheel.
- 02
Pull and hold the paddle to request regenerative deceleration.
- 03
Monitor traffic and vehicle response, pressing the brake pedal whenever the requested slowing is not enough.
- 04
Release the paddle to end Regen on Demand.
Important limits
- The paddle does not replace the service brakes and must not be relied on for an emergency stop.
- Available regenerative force can be limited by a nearly full or cold battery.
Quick checks.
- ✓If little deceleration occurs, use the brake pedal immediately and check whether charging or cold conditions have limited regeneration.
- ✓If the paddle never responds in Drive, have the control inspected.
