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
Drive in D and keep attention on traffic before operating a paddle.
- 02
Pull either the minus or plus paddle to enter fixed regenerative-braking selection.
- 03
Use the minus paddle for stronger regeneration or the plus paddle for a lower level, watching the display's arrows.
- 04
Choose among the four available levels and continue using the brake pedal whenever additional deceleration is needed.
- 05
Hold the plus paddle for a short time to return to normal D-position driving.
Important limits
- Regenerative deceleration can feel weaker at high speed than expected.
- The selected level does not replace the friction brakes or the driver's responsibility to stop.
- Battery, traction and system conditions can limit available regenerative braking.
Quick checks.
- ✓If Regenerative braking limited appears, press the brake pedal firmly enough to achieve the required deceleration.
- ✓If the arrows do not change, confirm the shift position is D and retry when driving conditions are stable.
- ✓Hold the plus paddle rather than tapping it when you want to leave fixed-level selection and restore normal D.
