AVH can be turned on by pressing AUTO
HOLD. The AVH indicator will come on.
While AVH is holding the vehicle, the AVH
indicator will change to green. See
Automatic Vehicle Hold (AVH) Light 0 96.

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking takes some of the
energy from the moving vehicle and turns it
back into electrical energy. This energy is
then stored back into the high voltage
battery system, contributing to increased
energy efficiency.
Regenerative power may be limited when
the battery is near full charge or cold. See
Regenerative Power Limited under Power
Indicator Gauge 0 91. Regenerative braking
supplements your vehicle s conventional
brakes, especially when going downhill. See
Hill and Mountain Roads 0 163.
Warning
Do not charge your vehicle s battery
above an 80% charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep grades such as
mountain passes. This provides room in
the battery for regenerative braking to
supplement your conventional brakes
during the descent. This is especially
important when towing a trailer, which
puts additional stress on your vehicle s
braking system.
See Charge Now under Charging 0 101
for information on setting charge limits.
See Hill and Mountain Roads 0 163 for
important information about driving on
grades.
The brake system uses regenerative braking,
conventional hydraulic braking, or a
combination of both as appropriate.
Regen on Demand
Applying the Regen on Demand steering
wheel paddle requests additional
deceleration using regenerative braking. The
deceleration request increases as the paddle
is applied more. It works in D (Drive). The
accelerator pedal can be used to manage
deceleration while using Regen on Demand.
See One-Pedal Driving 0 174.
If the vehicle is brought to a complete stop
while the Regen on Demand paddle is
applied, the vehicle will not creep forward
when the paddle is released. The accelerator
pedal must be pressed to move the vehicle
forward.
