Breaklights on Regen

[ChrisT]

I like the way the breaklights come on when the car is on regenerative breaking
I dont think our Leaf did that which always worried me that a driver behind might not realise the car was slowing.

Did I read somewhere that this only occurs on regen 3?

Maybe, we only use regen 3 but I will test it on 2 and 1.

 

[shawncullen]

Me too. Yesterday I got 4 miles back through regen 3. I’m becoming obsessed!

Yes the auto break lights only operate in regen 3.

However, they only come on if you are slowing down fast enough. I think the brake lights only come on when the needle on the power meter is showing between the ‘R’ & ‘G’ of CHARGE on the power meter.

With my ZS EV the break lights come on when the needle is between H & A and slowing down not too fast 30-35 kph with regen 3.
