Regenerative braking
The car recovers the brake energy and regenerates current to the battery when the driver releases the accelerator pedal or when the foot brake is used.
Note
Slippery or icy conditions may reduce the car’s regenerative capacity.
Regeneration with the accelerator pedal
Release the accelerator pedal.
The car brakes with the selected braking action and charging is indicated in the driver display.
Note
The brake lights come on if the braking force exceeds a certain level.
