BATTERY CONDITIONING
In extreme temperatures, high or low, the high
voltage battery may need to be conditioned, and
therefore may require the vehicle to be plugged
in prior to the next use of the vehicle.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
SYSTEM (RBS)
RBS replenishes the vehicle's high voltage bat-
tery during deceleration, and is particularly useful
in stop-and-go city traffic. The RBS recharges the
high voltage battery under certain braking condi-
tions by recapturing energy that would otherwise
be lost while braking.
Max Regeneration
Max Regeneration is a supplemental feature of
the RBS. When activated, it will use the RBS to
help slow the vehicle when the driver releases
the accelerator pedal. This feature allows you to
moderately reduce driving speed without press-
ing the brake pedal. It is always necessary to
apply the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a
complete stop. The Driving History screen shows
the value of energy recovered from the high-
voltage battery during eCoasting and eBraking
energy recovery options

eCoasting: Intervenes in place of the exhaust
brake when the throttle is released, allowing
energy recovery when slowing down, even
when the brake pedal is released. It will differ-
entiate depending on the selected drive mode.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
system recovers energy during the slowing
down phase of the car. It is always active
regardless of the selected drive mode. eCoast-
ing is possible if the automatic transmission is
in the Drive position. While in "Sport" mode,
eCoasting has a more pronounced deceleration
when the accelerator pedal is released. When
"Sport" mode is not selected, eCoasting has a
setting that favors driving comfort.
•
eBraking: eBraking is always active regardless
of the selected operating mode, and activates
the high-voltage battery charging when the
brake pedal is pressed, thereby recovering
energy during braking. It is useful when driving
in the city, where there are continuous stops
and starts. To make the most efficient use the
system, the braking phase should be modu-
lated by applying gradual pressure on the
brake pedal to allow maximum energy
recovery.
E-SAVE MODE
This system allows the driver to select different
modes by first pressing the e-Save button
located below the gear shifter. Once selected the
different modes are customizable in your touch-
screen display.
e-Save Mode Switch
e-Save: Aims to maintain a high level of SOC/
Electric range for later use. It can be customized
in settings to increase the SOC to predefined
levels.
e-Save settings can be found in the Uconnect
Hybrid Electric App.
NOTE:
The e-Save mode button must be pressed to
activate Battery Save or Battery Charge.
