With 'AUTO' for the regenerative braking
level displayed on the cluster, the regen -
erative braking level is controlled auto -
matically when vehicle speed is above 12
km/h (7.4 mph) and one of the condition
below is met.
僅 The road gradient changes
僅 Distance from the vehicle ahead
reduces or increases
僅 Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or
increases
NOTICE
When vehicle speed is under 12 km/h
(7.4 mph), the Smart Regeneration Sys -
tem is cancelled. The driver must adjust
the vehicle speed by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal according to
the road condition ahead and driving
condition.

The regenerative braking level is auto -
matically controlled depending on the
driving condition of the vehicle in front
and the level is indicated with arrows.

However, current regenerative braking
level is maintained if the driver
depresses the brake pedal whilst the
system is in activation. Also, the system
is cancelled temporarily if the accelera -
tor pedal is depressed.
WARNING
The Smart Regeneration System which
automatically controls the regenerative
braking level when coasting is only a
supplemental system for the driver's
convenience. Do not solely rely on this
system to stop the vehicle. The system
cannot completely stop the vehicle in
all situations nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insufficient
depending on the speed of the vehicle in
front and when the vehicle in front sud -
denly stops, a vehicle cuts in suddenly or
there is a steep slope. Always look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
Smart regeneration system will
be temporarily cancelled when:
僅 Canceled manually
With the vehicle on, touch Settings →
Vehicle → Eco Vehicle → Smart
Recuperation on the infotainment
system or pull and hold the right side
paddle shifter for over 1 second.
The Smart Regeneration System turns
off and switches to the regenerative
braking level indicator with arrows
instead of 'AUTO' indicator.
