Regenerative Braking system
Similar to engine braking on engine-powered vehicles, the electric motors act as generators when the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is depressed while driving. In this way, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy, which is then used to charge the battery.
The flow of energy during regenerative braking is displayed on the instrument cluster.
The intensity of regenerative braking can be selected from two levels, using the gear selector lever. Using the paddles, the intensity can be selected from six levels.*
* Lightly touching the brake pedal when in regenerative mode will increase the regenerative effort rather than wasting the kinetic energy into brake heat and wear to brake components.
