Brakes

Your vehicle has several types of braking functions, both manual and automatic.

Your vehicle has several features and capabilities when it comes to braking.
Foot brakeYour main way of braking manually. Pressing the brake pedal may activate regenerative braking or engage the friction brakes, depending on the driving conditions.
One Pedal DriveWhen One Pedal Drive is active, you control both braking and acceleration with the accelerator pedal.
Regenerative brakingSlows the vehicle down by using the vehicle’s movement to charge the battery.1
Friction brakesSlows the vehicle down by engaging the disc brakes.
Parking brakeKeeps the vehicle in place while parked.
Auto holdAutomatically applies the brake to hold the vehicle when coming to a stop.
Automatic brakingThis is a general term for the vehicle's braking interventions. Several driver support and safety systems can intervene and perform braking maneuvers for safety reasons or convenience.
Post-impact brakingAutomatic braking after severe collisions to avoid further hazards.
Electronic stability control2Helps prevent skidding and other stability-related issues by automatically applying the brakes.
Anti-lock braking system3Prevents the brakes from locking up during hard braking. This improves the braking performance, stability and maneuverability of the vehicle.

 Note

Brake lights

Your vehicle's brake lights automatically light up during braking maneuvers. The lights respond to manual braking from the brake pedal and One Pedal Drive, as well as automatic braking from any driver support system.

Emergency brake lights

During hard braking maneuvers, or if the ABS system is activated, the emergency brake lights will activate. This causes additional brake lights to light up to alert vehicles behind you.
