Select the recuperation level
The energy generated during braking is stored in the
high-voltage battery during recuperation. A higher
recuperation level also increases the braking force
when driving downhill or rolling out.
As the state of charge of the high-voltage battery in-
creases, the force of the recuperation braking will
decrease.
Four recuperation levels can be set using the selec-
tor lever.
Light recuperation.

Medium recuperation.
