Regenerative Braking
The SEA-Drive® vehicle is fitted with a regenerative braking system that operates automatically.
When driving the SEA-Drive® vehicle, if the driver releases the accelerator without touching the brake
pedal, a gentle regenerative braking effort will be applied which slightly retards the forward progress
of the vehicle.
Once the driver applies the brakes to slow the vehicle, a more aggressive regenerative braking effort
is applied ensuring that maximum energy recovery is achieved for the vehicle.
The SEA-Drive® vehicle also makes uses of the exhaust brake/retarder stalk which can be found on the
left side of the steering column (same side as the wiper function). By pulling the stalk down towards
the driver, a heavy regenerative brake can be applied without the use of the brake pedal. A green light
on the instrument cluster will illuminate when the regenerative brake stalk is active (see pictures
below).

Regenerative Braking is limited when the high voltage battery is fully charged.
The regenerative braking function cannot be disabled.
