evels.The brake energy recuperation can generate
a br
aking eff
ect. This br
aking effect depends
on the selected driving programme and the
level of charge of the high-voltage battery. When braking the vehicle and when the vehi-
cle mov
es by inertia or travels downhill in the
deceleration phase, electric power is gener-
ated by the electric engine and stored in the
high-voltage battery. The electric engine
then operates as an alternator and produces
a engine brake effect. This process is called
brake energy recuperation.
The status of the recuperation is indicated in
