Brake and Hold System
The Brake and Hold System (one-pedal driving) increases the regenerative braking amount
to above level 3 and enables you to come to a full stop by pulling down the left paddle .
• Pull and hold the left paddle shifter
• When the vehicle speed is above 1 .9 mph, release the left paddle shifter
than 0 .5 seconds to return to the previously set level of regenerative braking
• When the vehicle speed is below 1 .9 mph, the brake and hold system stops the vehicle
even though the left paddle shifter is released
• While one-pedal driving is active, the driver can control the vehicle stopping position
using the accelerator pedal

Do not solely rely on one-pedal driving to stop the vehicle, as it may not be able to stop the vehicle depending on
vehicle and road conditions. Pay attention to the road condition ahead and apply the brake if necessary.
