Brake disc cleaning
If there is a surface rust on the brake disc or squeal can be heard, select level 0 of the
regenerative brake system.
The regenerative brake system will be temporarily deactivated to clean the brake disc.
Depressing a brake while driving approximately 10 times, the regenerative brake system
will not be operated during Brake Disc Cleaning mode is activated (Regenerative brake
system level 0). The energy consumption may increases.
After Brake Disc Cleaning mode operates, the regenerative brake system will activate
again.
WARNING
僅 Avoid applying the parking brake to stop the vehicle while it is moving except in an
emergency situation. Applying the parking brake while the vehicle is moving at normal
speeds can cause a sudden loss of control of the vehicle. If you must use the parking
brake to stop the vehicle, use great caution in applying the brake.
僅 Avoid continuous application of the brakes when descending a long or steep hill. Contin-
uous brake application will cause the brakes to overheat and could result in a temporary
loss of braking performance.
僅 Do not ignore high pitched wear sounds from your brakes. If you ignore this audible
warning, you will eventually lose braking performance, which could lead to a serious
accident.
CAUTION
僅 Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This will create abnormally high
brake temperatures which can cause excessive brake lining and pad wear.
僅 Do not continue to drive with worn brake pads. Continuing to drive with worn brake
pads can damage the braking system and result in costly brake repairs.
NOTE
僅 Do not continue depressing the brake pedal if the READY indicator is OFF. The battery
may be discharged.
僅 Noise and vibration generated during braking is normal.
