Hybrid Vehicle, Operating: Regenerating

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Regenerating 

Regenerating means the energy from the moving wheels is recovered and regenerated into electrical energy. The recovered energy is used to brake the vehicle. Electric current is produced by the Electro-Drive, Drive Motor -V141- working as a generator and this electricity is stored in the Hybrid Battery -A38- or it is used to supply auxiliary components.

If the Hybrid Battery -A38- cannot store any more energy after a long recovery, the combustion engine starts and slows down the vehicle.
