REGEN ON DEMAND
Regenerative braking takes some of the energy from the slowing
vehicle and turns it back into electrical energy, which is then stored
in the high voltage battery. Regenerative braking occurs while the
vehicle is coasting and during most braking events.
Regen on Demand allows you to increase the deceleration provided
by regenerative braking by using the tap shift controls on the back
of the steering wheel. It can be used during sporty driving and when
descending hills to slow the vehicle. It also enables one-footed driv-
ing using the accelerator pedal and the selected deceleration level.
Note: The brake pedal must be used at low speeds. Regen on Demand will
not stop the vehicle.
TEMPORARY REGEN ON DEMAND
With the shift lever in Drive (D), tap either control on the back
of the steering wheel to activate Temporary Regen on Demand.
Press and hold the right control for 2 seconds to deactivate
Temporary Regen on Demand.
Temporary Regen on
Demand is automati-
cally deactivated after
the accelerator pedal is
applied for 15 seconds.
PERMANENT REGEN
ON DEMAND
There are 4 coast
deceleration levels
(M1, M2, M3, M4). M1 provides the most deceleration and M4 the
least amount. M4 and Drive (D) generate the same coast decelera-
tion levels.
1. Move the shift lever from Drive (D) to Manual Mode (M).
2. Tap the left control on the back of the steering wheel to
select more deceleration. Tap the right control to select less
deceleration.
3. Move the shift lever to Drive (D) to exit.
PROPULSION CREEP SPEED
Use Regen on Demand to also change the coasting and creep speed
of the vehicle when the accelerator pedal or brake pedal is not
applied in stop-and-go traffic. Select a deceleration level from M4
(fastest) to M1 (slowest) to adjust the creep speed.
