By using the paddle shift system located at the steering wheel the driver is able to determine the level of recuperation achieved when releasing the accelerator pedal in a smooth manner.
When coming off the accelerator the driver can use the paddle shift system at the steering wheel to determine the level of recuperation, this may be achieved in a seamless manner. The setting range for recuperation varies from a maximum possible 75 kw to no recuperation (when coasting). With this the driver can adjust the acceleration characteristics according to either his own preferences or the driving conditions being experienced.
