How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    With the vehicle ready and the foot brake held, move the selector to B rather than D.

  2. 02

    Accelerate normally, then ease off the accelerator gradually to request regenerative braking.

  3. 03

    Release the accelerator fully only when the surface and traffic conditions allow.

  4. 04

    Use the brake pedal for stronger deceleration and to hold a complete stop whenever automatic creeping is active.

Important limits

  • One Pedal Drive has a braking-force limit and is not recommended on slippery roads.
  • With automatic creeping enabled, accelerator release alone does not hold a complete stop.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the expected deceleration is missing, confirm B rather than D is selected.
  • ✓If the car creeps, use the foot brake and check the automatic-creeping setting.
