Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.
Distance to empty
The EV range is the estimated dis-tance the vehicle can be driven
with remaining level of the high
voltage battery.
For more details, refer to the “EV
Range” section in the Electric
Vehicle System Overview manual.
Note that the range is displayed in different locations in the instrument
cluster depending on the current
drive mode selection.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode System" in chapter 5.
Range accumulated from regen-erative braking
When ECO mode or ECO+ mode (if
equipped) is enabled, the speedome-
ter display includes an additional
range value which is accumulated as
a result of regenerative braking. The
value starts from zero and incremen-
tally increases as the energy from
regen braking increases. The display
resets to zero when the regen level
drops to zero (vehicle accelerating,
etc.).

Paddle Shifter Operation
The paddle shifter is used to adjust
the regenerative braking level from 0
to 3 during decelerating or braking.
Left side ( ): Increases regener-ative braking and deceleration.
Right side ( ): Decreases regenerative braking and decelera-
tion. One Pedal Driving - If the left side
paddle shifter is held for more than
0.5 second when coasting, the
One Pedal Driving feature is
enabled. This function increases
the regenerative braking effort to a
maximum. Holding the paddle
shifter will enable the vehicle to
come to a complete stop without
applying the foot pedal braking.
Refer to the following pages on
"One Pedal Driving".Information
The paddle shifter does not operate
when:
• The [ ] and [ ] paddleshifters are pulled at the same time.
• The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal.
• The Cruise Control system or Smart Cruise Control system is activated. The selected regenerative braking
level is displayed on the instrument
cluster.

mizes the unnecessary operation of
the brake and acceleration pedal,
improving the fuel efficiency and
assisting the driver.System Setting
The Smart Regeneration System is
enabled when:
The gear is in P (Park) and select
'User settings →Convenience →
Smart Regeneration' on the User
Settings mode.
The setting is maintained when the
vehicle is restarted.
Activating the Smart
Regeneration System
With 'AUTO' for the regenerative
braking level displayed on the clus-
ter, the regenerative braking level is
controlled automatically when vehi-
cle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)
and one of the condition below is
met.
- The road gradient changes
- Distance from the vehicle ahead reduces or increases
- Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or increases

When vehicle speed is under 6
mph (10 km/h), the Smart
Regeneration System is can-
celled. The driver must adjust
the vehicle speed by depress-
ing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving
condition.
WARNING

5-22
Driving your vehicle
When the system is turned on from
the User Settings mode, but the front
radar doesn't recognize the vehicle
in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in white. If the front radar recognizes the vehi-
cle in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in
blue. The regenerative braking level
is automatically controlled depend-
ing on the driving condition of the
vehicle in front and the level is indi-
cated with arrows.
However, current regenerative brak-
ing level is maintained if the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the
system is in activation. Also, the sys-
tem is cancelled temporarily if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
OOSEV058097NOOSEV058001N
The Smart Regeneration
System which automatically
controls the regenerative brak-
ing level when coasting is only
a supplemental system for the
driver's convenience. The sys-
tem cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insuf-
ficient depending on the speed
of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly or there is a steep slope.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.
WARNING

On curves
When coasting on the curve, the sys-
tem may not detect the vehicle in
your lane and the regenerative brak-
ing level will reduce automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front, the regen-
erative braking level will increase
automatically, making you feel that
the vehicle is decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and
select the appropriate speed. Check
to be sure that the road conditions
permit safe operation of the Smart
Regeneration System.
On inclines
When coasting on an uphill or down-
hill, the system may not detect the
vehicle in your lane and the regener-
ative braking level will reduce auto-
matically, making you feel that the
vehicle is accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front, the regen-
erative braking level will increase
automatically, making you feel that
the vehicle is decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.
