The foot brake engages either regenerative braking or the friction brakes, depending on how hard you press the pedal. Light braking activates regenerative braking, whereas harder braking engages the friction brakes.
Electronically controlled braking1
The foot brake is electronically controlled. As the braking force is transmitted electronically rather than physically, there are no natural reaction forces traveling from the brakes to the pedal.
Anti-lock braking system2
The vehicle's anti-lock braking system prevents the brakes from locking up during hard braking. This improves braking performance and maneuverability and helps to stabilize the vehicle.
Note
P button
At high speeds, pressing and holding the P button slows the vehicle down at a steady rate. This provides a backup alternative to braking normally. Only use the P button in this way if you are unable to brake using the brake pedal.
Startup checks
Several brake systems are part of the vehicle's startup check. Make sure to resolve any indicated brake faults before driving.
Warning
Wet brakes
The vehicle's stopping distance may be longer if the brake discs are wet. If they have been exposed to water, safely perform a braking maneuver to remove water from the brakes. Engaging the disc brakes while driving heats up and dries them.
