Regen on Demand™

Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the

vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion

battery for later use.

To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold either paddle on

the back of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal

or accelerator pedal.

While pulling either paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate

using regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once

the paddles are released, or the brake pedal or accelerator pedal

is pressed.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
