Regenerative Braking
NOTE: Activating regenerative braking while in
cruise control can be used to activate descent
control mode or deceleration mode.
General Information
The eCascadia is equipped with a regenerative
braking system. When regenerative braking is active,
the motor acts as a generator, resisting the rotation
of the wheels and creating electricity.
When the driver presses on the brake pedal, or a
driver assistance system demands the vehicle
decelerate, the vehicle is able to use some of the
energy used to slow the vehicle to charge the high-
voltage batteries.
If the vehicle is equipped with dynamic regenerative
braking using the accelerator pedal, then using the
accelerator pedal can engage regenerative braking.
Engaging Regenerative Braking
WARNING
Regenerative braking may be inhibited. The
driver should always be prepared to apply the
service brakes to slow the vehicle. Failure to do
so could result in damage to the vehicle, severe
personal injury, or death.
To activate regenerative braking with the right-hand
stalk switch, select position one through three, as
shown in
When a regenerative braking level is selected, the
regenerative braking telltale shown in
appears on the driver display.
A thin inner blue line also appears on the charge
meter section of the power gauge, as shown in
indicating the maximum level of
regenerative braking requested. Each level (low,
medium, high) extends the line by 1/3 until the line
extends the length of the meter at ’high.’ If level one
or two is selected, a blue caret appears to mark the
regenerative braking limit. If level three is requested,
there is no limit and therefore no caret.
