Hey,
I already made an appointment in dealership but I wanted to share with my experience. Maybe it’s not a problem and maybe I exaggerate.
My passenger asked me what is this sound? She heard that when I stopped my car near her. To be honest I didn’t hear it before. It occurs when I’m braking. It happens only on D mode (gearbox). It doesn’t exist on S mode. I guess maybe it’s connected to recuperation system but I’m worried it’s too loud. It’s MHEV engine.

Hi what mileage is the car or is it a few miles/km old? As this is a new model perhaps someone has the same model as you.
It might be just a small stone stuck or the pads bedding in.
does the brake pedal feel strange or is it stopping as it should.

Or as you say its the battery getting some charge from the brakes
enjoy your new car

This car has 1400 km now. I’m sure there is no stone or anything else. I hear that some device turning on.
I’m almost sure that it comes from recuperation system but my main concern is this loud sound is normal ?
