Chevy Bolt Regenerative Braking
Full documentation about regenerative braking in Chevy Bolt cars can be found on Chevrolet's support website.
2021 Bolt
Regenerative braking sensitivity can be increased by shifting from D to L mode. In L mode, when the accelerator pedal is not pressed - the car will rapidly slow and the vehicle's momentum will recharge the battery.
L mode is not One-Pedal Driving!
Unlike some other electric cars with full One-Pedal Driving, Bolt drivers should continue to use the brake pedal when at a complete stop. If stopped while in L mode, the car will sometimes engage the parking brake.
2023 Bolt
The 2023 Bolt EV does not have the L driving mode found earlier models. Pressing the button with the foot icon below the drive shifter will enable One-Pedal Driving when illuminated.
Regen On Demand
The rear paddle on the left side of the steering wheel can be pulled towards the driver to slow the car and convert momentum into battery charge. This can be used regardless of if the car is in D, L, or One-Pedal Driving mode.

Toyota Prius Emergency Brake
If the car will not stop beeping and has a light that says "brake" lit up, it is being driven with the emergency brake on. This can be dangerous for the member as the car drives badly, and also can really damage the emergency brake.
The emergency brake pedal is to the left and higher up than the other pedals. It may say "Push On, Push Off" or have a "P" icon, or the lettering may be too worn to read. If a member is having trouble finding it, getting out of the car to look can be helpful. This brake is sometimes confused with the "park" button in the center console, as the button has a "P" on it - this button puts the car into park if the ignition is on, and pushing it does not do anything to disengage the brake.
Toyota Prius - Starting the Car
To start the car, hold down the brake pedal while pushing the power button. The car is very quiet on start so sometimes it is started without the member knowing - check Vulog Back Office to confirm. If the member is unsure, have them press the power button again to see if it turns off, then walk them through the "hold brake while pressing button" steps to turn on properly.
