Creep Mode (EV Creep Setting)
Creep mode makes an electric car move slowly when the brake is released, like an automatic petrol car in drive.
What is Creep Mode (EV Creep Setting)?
Many EVs let you switch creep on or off. Creep helps with parking and slow manoeuvres. One-pedal driving often disables creep. Some drivers like creep for traffic queues because it feels like a conventional automatic.
How it works
The motor applies a small torque when no pedal is pressed and drive is selected.
Why it matters for your car
Without creep, the car may roll back on hills when the brake is released. Get used to the setting before parking in tight spaces.
