Function of the regenerative brake system

Depending on the selected recuperation level, the electric motor is operated as an alternator when in overrun mode and during braking in order to charge the high-voltage battery while driving. As soon as you release the accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in motion, recuperation in overrun mode is initiated.

The regenerative brake system has the following characteristics:
  • supports braking with an electronically controlled brake force boosting

  • converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy

In the drive program, you can use the steering wheel gearshift paddles to manually adjust the intensity of recuperation in overrun mode More.

System limits
The braking effect of the electric motor during recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or may not be available at all in the following situations:
  • when the high-voltage battery charge level increases

  • if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a normal operating temperature

  • when driving at speeds close to zero

  • in transmission position

  • during and after ESP® intervenes

In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by the brake control system. Also brake with the service brake if necessary.
