The RBS uses conventional hydraulic friction brakes,
regenerative braking, or a combination to slow the
vehicle. If the system detects slippery conditions while
braking, ONLY friction is used to slow the vehicle. The
RBS can result in extended life of the hydraulic service
brakes; however, all inspection, scheduled mainte-
nance, and service intervals for the vehicle service
brakes must be followed.
eCoasting: Intervenes in place of the exhaust brake
when the throttle is released, allowing energy recovery
when slowing down, even when the brake pedal is
released. It will differentiate depending on selecting
driving mode. When the accelerator pedal is released,
recovers energy during the slowing down phase of the
car. It it always active regardless of the selected operat-
ing mode. eCoasting is possible if the automatic trans-
mission is in Drive. In “Natural” and “Advanced Effi-
ciency” modes, which can be selected via the DNA
system selector, eCoasting has a setting that favors
driving comfort. While in “Dynamic” mode, eCoasting
has a more pronounced deceleration when the accel-
erator pedal is released. When “Sport” mode is not
selected, eCoasting has a setting that favors driving
comfort. While in “Sport” mode, eCoasting has a more
pronounced deceleration when the accelerator pedal is
released.
eBraking: eBraking is always active regardless of the
selected operating mode, and activates the high-
voltage battery charging when the brake pedal is
pressed, thereby recovering energy during braking. It is
useful when driving in the city, where there are continu-
ous stops and starts. To make the most efficient use
the system, the braking phase should be modulated by
applying gradual pressure on the brake pedal to allow
maximum energy recovery.
E-SELEC MODE
This system allows the driver to select different modes
by pushing the following buttons located on the steering
wheel.
•
Hybrid: Prioritizes electric range first, then gas
range.
○ Automatically switches between using gas and
battery for greatest efficiency and performance.
○ Best heating/cooling and acceleration
performance.
•
Electric: Prevents the engine from running, unless
you absolutely need it.
○ Driving in electric mode allows the vehicle to use
up to the full capability of the electric drivetrain,
and if the electric drivetrain is operating at its
peak power, then pressing the accelerator pedal
more will not result in more power. To access the
full capability of the engine plus electric motors,
switch to Hybrid or e-Save.
○ Engine will switch on during a Wide Open Throttle
(WOT) event, or if cruise control requires it.
○ Vehicle will switch to hybrid mode upon reaching
< 1% State of Charge (SOC) or due to system
needs. See
page 86 for information on where
to view your vehicle’s SOC.
•
e-Save: Aims to maintain a high level of SOC/Electric
range for later use. It can be customized in settings
to increase the SOC to predefined levels.
○ e-Save settings can be found in the Uconnect
Hybrid Electric App.
○ When e-Save is selected on a fully charged
vehicle, the SOC will drop slightly for optimal
performance.
○ The Battery Save setting aims to maintain the
SOC at the current level. Under heavy load, such
as while pulling a trailer, SOC may decrease.
When coasting, the SOC may increase.
○ The Battery Charge setting uses power from the
engine to increase SOC to the selected target.
If the SOC is above the target when e-Save mode
is activated, then the vehicle will automatically
switch between gas and battery until SOC
reaches the target.
○ The e-Save mode button must be pressed to acti-
vate Battery Save or Battery Charge.
HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION
SAE J1772 CHARGING INLET
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE
J1772 charge inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for both AC
Level 1 (120 V) and AC Level 2 (240 V) charging.
