Regenerative Braking - GMC LYRIQ 2023 Owner's Manual

220 Driving and Operating

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
0 111. Regenerative braking
supplements your vehicle s
conventional brakes, especially
when going downhill. See Hill
and Mountain Roads 0 200.
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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 0 123 for
information on setting
charge limits. See Hill and
Mountain Roads 0 200 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 0 214.
