Driving your vehicle
The paddle shifter is used to adjust 
the regenerative braking rate from 0
to 3 during decelerating or braking. 
 Left side ( ): Increases regener-ative braking and deceleration.
 Right side ( ): Decreases regenerative braking and decelera- tion.
 Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter to change to 0.
 Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter to change to 3. Information 
The paddle shifter does not operate
when: 
 Both Paddle shifters are pulled at the same time. 
 The Cruise Control system or Smart Cruise Control system is activated.
 The vehicle is shifted to P (Park), R(Reverse) and N (Neutral). 
The selected regenerative braking 
rate is displayed on the instrument
cluster.
What Does RegenerativeBraking Do?
It uses the electric motor when
decelerating or braking which trans-
forms vehicle motion (kinetic energy)
to electrical energy to charge the
high voltage batteries.

If the front radar recognizes the vehi- 
cle in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in
blue. The regenerative braking levelis automatically controlled depend-
ing on the driving condition of the
vehicle in front and the level is indi-
cated with arrows. 
However, current regenerative brak- 
ing level is maintained if the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the
system is in activation. Also, the sys-
tem is cancelled temporarily if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
Cancelling the Smart 
Regeneration System:
 Cancelled manuallyPulling and holding the right side 
paddle shifter for more than 1 sec-ond. 
The Smart Regeneration System 
turns off temporarily. Note that the
"AUTO" indicator in the LCD dis-
play turns off.
 Cancelled automatically - The vehicle is shifted to N(Neutral), R (Reverse) or P
(Park).
- The Cruise Control System (including the Smart Cruise
Control system) is enabled.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or ABS is activated.

OAEE049671L The Smart Regeneration 
System which automatically
controls the regenerative brak-
ing level when coasting is only
a supplemental system for the
driver's convenience. The sys-
tem cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insuf-ficient depending on the speed
of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly or there is a steep slope.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

 If the vehicle is restarted using the cruise control toggle switch (RES+
or SET-) while Auto Hold and cruise
control is operating, the Auto Holdwill be released regardless of
accelerator pedal operation. The

ESC operation  
ESC ON condition
When the POWER button is in the ON position, the ESC and the ESC
OFF indicator lights illuminate for
approximately three seconds. After
both lights go off, the ESC is
enabled.
When operating
When the ESC is in opera- tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks:
 conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ESC is
active.
 cle may not respond to the acceler-ator as it does under routine condi-
tions.
 when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-
gaged when the road conditions
allow. See "Cruise Control System"
later in this chapter. (if equipped)
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will
not prevent accidents. Excessive speed in turns, 
abrupt maneuvers, and
hydroplaning on wet surfaces
can result in severe accidents.WARNING

Driver Attention Warning sys- 
tem may not provide alerts in
the following situations:
The system may not work 
around 15 seconds after start-
ing the vehicle or the initial-ization or rebooting of the
front view camera.
The lane detection perform- 
ance is limited. (For more
information, refer to "Lane
Keeping Assist (LKA)" in this
chapter.) 
The vehicle is erratically driv- 
en or is abruptly turned for
obstacle avoidance (e.g. con-
struction area, other vehicles,
fallen objects, bumpy road).(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
Forward drivability of the 
vehicle is severely under-
mined (possibly due to wide
variation in tire pressures,
uneven tire wear-out, toe-in/toe-out alignment).
The vehicle is driven on a 
curvy road.
The vehicle is driven through 
a windy area.
The vehicle is driven on a 
bumpy road.
The vehicle is controlled by 
the following driving assistsystems: 
- Forward  Collision-Avoidance Assist system
- Lane Keeping Assist system
-  Smart Cruise Control system
- Lane Following Assist sys- tem
Playing the vehicle audio sys- 
tem at high volume may prevent
