Peugeot Tutorials | 408 Regenerative Braking System
In this #PeugeotTutorial, learn how the #Peugeot408 helps you make the most of its electrified powertrain through its regenerative braking system. This feature captures energy normally lost during deceleration and feeds it back into the traction battery, supporting smoother drives and improved efficiency.
On plug‑in hybrid versions of the car, activating B mode is simple: while in Drive, pull the toggle backwards to switch the function on or off. Once activated, releasing the accelerator produces a stronger deceleration effect, similar to amplified engine braking, allowing the electric motor to recover mechanical energy and convert it into stored electricity.
Electric versions of the 408 offer even more control, with three selectable regeneration levels. Each adjusts how strongly the car slows when you lift off the accelerator, ranging from a gentle, natural coasting feel to more assertive energy recapture. You can modify these levels using the paddles behind the steering wheel — the left paddle increases braking force and regeneration, while the right paddle reduces it. The vehicle remembers your last chosen mode and applies it the next time you start your #Peugeot.
