force fixed when the accelerator pedal is released .
The regenerative braking force can be selected from 4 levels .
By operating the “ -” side of the paddle shift switch , the regenerative braking force can be made stronger than the current one .
By operating the “+” side of the paddle shift switch , the regenerative braking force can be made weaker than the current one .
The regenerative braking power becomes strong as the number
of the arrows of
( regenerative braking power indicator ) on the multi-information display increases .

■ How to cancel the regenerative braking force selection mode
In the following conditions , the regenerative braking force selection
mode is canceled .
●The shift position is shifted to a position other than D
●The “+” paddle shift switch is pressed and held
● When “ X-MODE ” is activated
●When the “ S PEDAL DRIVE ” is operating
■ Using regenerative brake
●When driving at a high speed , the feeling of deceleration with regenerative braking is less than that on conventional vehicles .
●If “ Regenerative Braking Limited Press Brake to Decelerate ” appears on the multi-information
display , firmly depress the brake pedal to decelerate the vehicle .
●Operate the paddle switch on the “ -” side , and when the number for the regenerative brake force indicator reaches 4 , the system will switch to “ S PEDAL DRIVE ” mode . At the same time , the “ S
PEDAL DRIVE ” indicator will turn on .
“ S PEDAL DRIVE ” switch
Acceleration / deceleration control can be performed only by operating the accelerator pedal , and the frequency of switching to the brake pedal can be greatly reduced . Since the deceleration when the accelerator pedal is released is stronger than that of a conventional vehicle , the vehicle can be decelerated smoothly by slowly releasing the pedal the accelerator pedal without completely releasing it .
