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
Choose a safe, predictable stopping situation and release both accelerator and brake to coast.
- 02
Pull and hold the left paddle for more than 0.5 seconds to request maximum regenerative deceleration.
- 03
Continue holding as speed falls; use the brake pedal whenever additional stopping force is required.
- 04
Release above 1.8 mph to return to the previously selected regeneration level, or release after stopping to keep the vehicle stationary.
Important limits
- The vehicle may not come to a complete stop on a slope, slippery surface, with wheel slip or under a heavy load.
- Pressing the accelerator while holding the paddle changes how speed is controlled; practice only in safe conditions.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the vehicle returns to its prior regeneration level, the paddle was released while speed was above about 1.8 mph.
- ✓If stopping force is insufficient, release the paddle as needed and use the service brake.
