How to reduce regenerative-braking drag in a Leapmotor B10

If lifting off the accelerator feels abrupt to passengers, check the selected energy-recovery level while parked. Changing it also changes how far the car coasts.

Checked against the English BEV manual linked below. China-market reports identify the owner question; they do not establish an export defect, a recall or a guaranteed fix. Match the handbook and equipment in your car, and follow current on-screen instructions where software differs.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Open Settings → Driving → Energy recovery and select Weak, Medium or Strong. Weak gives less lift-off dragging in the checked manual. Keep using the brake pedal whenever required; the setting is not a substitute for braking.

The China-market owner report

A Chinese B10 settings discussion recommends a weaker recovery level for passengers who dislike the lift-off sensation. That is a comfort preference, not evidence that a particular setting cures motion sickness.

Before you start

Park before changing driving settings. Recovery may be limited with a full battery or extreme battery temperature, so the same setting can feel different under different conditions.

What to check

1Identify the current levelOpen Settings → Driving and read Energy recovery. Distinguish it from acceleration response and steering mode.
2Choose a lower recovery level if desiredSelect Weak for less lift-off dragging, or Medium for an intermediate response. Make one change at a time.
3Adapt your following distance and brakingOn a suitable journey, expect the car to coast differently when you lift off. Remain ready to use the brake pedal; do not use neutral as a coasting workaround.
4Assess comfort without chasing a faultIf the response remains unexpectedly inconsistent or a warning appears, record battery level, temperature and mode for the dealer.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

The selected recovery level should match your preference within the system’s operating limits. It cannot guarantee a fixed stopping distance or prevent passenger nausea.

Common questions

Is Strong always the most efficient choice?+

The manual offers different levels; select appropriately for conditions and safe control rather than assuming one level suits every trip.

Why is recovery weaker with a full battery?+

The handbook lists a full battery among conditions that can restrict energy recovery.
