One pedal drive

You control both braking and acceleration with the accelerator pedal when One pedal drive is active.
The accelerator pedal

The braking behaviour changes through the use of the accelerator pedal. When you press the accelerator, the car accelerates as normal but releasing the pedal engages braking. The more you ease up on the pedal, the more braking action you get. By releasing the accelerator completely, you will eventually bring your car to a full stop.

You can turn One pedal drive on or off in settings. You can also select the Auto setting which enables One pedal drive but only allows you to brake by releasing the accelerator when you are close to a vehicle in front of you.

Regenerative braking is prioritised by One pedal drive. However, the disc brakes can be applied if the braking action demands it.

Using the One pedal drive auto setting

When the Auto setting is selected, you can only brake using One pedal drive when there is a vehicle detected in front of you. This means that if the road ahead is clear, releasing the accelerator pedal does not brake the car. This can make driving in light traffic for a longer time more comfortable, as you won't have to apply constant pressure on the accelerator. However, this also means that you must be ready to use the brake pedal in situations where you have to brake without a vehicle right in front of you. These situations can include, but are not limited to, stopping at a stop sign, traffic light or an intersection, or when driving on roundabouts.

 Important

Radar and camera detection conditions

When Auto is selected, One pedal drive uses the car's camera and radar units, which have some general limitations. The detection system cannot handle all driving, traffic, weather or road conditions. Read the separate manual sections about detection types, how they work and their limitations to better understand how the Auto setting's performance can be affected.

Keep the brake pedal in mind

There is a limit to the braking force that can be applied by releasing the accelerator when using One pedal drive. For hard braking you need to use the brake pedal.

You can only use One pedal drive after selecting a driving gear, D or R. When N is selected no braking force will be applied when you ease up on the accelerator, even if One pedal drive is enabled in settings.

Slippery road conditions

Using One pedal drive is not recommended during slippery road conditions.

Off-road

One pedal drive is unavailable when the off-road feature is activated.
