Important limits

  • Maximum paddle regeneration may not stop the vehicle on slopes, slippery surfaces or under adverse tire, wheel or load conditions.
  • The service brake remains the driver's primary means of ensuring a complete stop.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If regeneration returns to its prior level, the paddle was released while the vehicle was above approximately 1.8 mph.
  • ✓If the requested stopping force changes unexpectedly, use the brake pedal rather than repeatedly pulling the paddle.
