Electrified GV70 EV brake lights don't illuminate when using certain regen braking modes

[krikorr]

Recent Consumer Reports tests confirmed that the electrified GV70 is one of a number of Hyundai and Kia EVs whose brake lights do not illuminate when using the more aggressive level3 and i-pedal braking modes and the driver does not lift their foot competely off the accelerator pedal. Hyundai/Genesis has responded to CR's discovery by announcing, "Hyundai and Genesis will be launching a field service campaign to update the EV brake light logic for the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Genesis Electrified G80, Genesis Electrified GV70, and Genesis GV60." If you lift your foot completely off the accelerator pedal, the brake light will come on.

The brake lights come on on my GV70e when I lift my foot the accelerator in level 2, 3 and iPedal.

The brake lights come on on my GV70e when I lift my foot the accelerator in level 2, 3 and iPedal.

Did you unintentionally omit the word "off" in your comment?

The brake lights come on on my GV70e when I lift my foot ? the accelerator in level 2, 3 and iPedal.

Please reread the report which in part states, "the electrified GV70 is one of a number of Hyundai and Kia EVs whose brake lights do not illuminate when using the more aggressive level3 and i-pedal braking modes and the driver does not lift their foot completely off the accelerator pedal.

I did omit the word off unintentionally. Thanks for catching that.

So when I drive a manual transmission car and down shift to slow down my brake lights don't go on... What's the difference when I raise my foot off the pedal?

There is no difference. The driver behind you will not have any visual evidence you are slowing down.
