Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
While driving under suitable conditions, use the left steering-wheel paddle to increase accelerator-release recuperation.
- 02
Use the right paddle to reduce the selected recuperation level.
- 03
Watch the driver display to identify the current one of three manual levels.
- 04
For automatic control, safely open the MMI recuperation setting and select automatic recuperation; continue using the brake pedal whenever needed.
Important limits
- Regeneration does not replace the brake pedal for hard or emergency stops.
- Available deceleration can vary with battery charge, temperature and road conditions.
Quick checks.
- ✓If paddle input has little effect, check battery state and whether automatic recuperation is controlling the response.
- ✓If the vehicle does not slow enough, use the brake pedal immediately.
