Driving
■ Using regenerative brake
● When driving at a high speed, the
feeling of deceleration with regen-
erative 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.
Acceleration/deceleration con-
trol 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 accelera-
tor pedal is released is stronger
than that of a conventional vehi-
cle, the vehicle can be deceler-
ated smoothly by slowly
releasing the pedal the acceler-
ator pedal without completely
releasing it.
When the “S PEDAL DRIVE”
switch is pressed, the regenera-
tive braking force, when the
accelerator pedal is released,
becomes stronger than usual.
■ When “S PEDAL DRIVE” cannot
be used In the following cases,
the system does not operate.
● When “X-MODE” is activated
● When the brake system or EV
system is malfunctioning
● When regenerative braking is lim-
ited
Regenerative braking may be
restricted in the following situations:
• When the amount of charge of the
traction battery is high
• When the temperature of the trac-
tion battery is low or extremely
high
• When the temperature of the elec-
tric motor or power control unit is
extremely high
• When regenerative braking is con-
tinually used for a long time
■ Regenerative Braking
● The vehicle cannot be stopped by
just releasing the accelerator
pedal. Step on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped.
● If the power switch is turned off
and then the EV system is
restarted, the “S PEDAL DRIVE”
will be turned off.
● When driving at high speeds, the
feeling of deceleration due to
regenerative braking is smaller
than in a normal car.
● The maximum deceleration varies
depending on the vehicle speed.
● “S PEDAL DRIVE” cannot be
used when the following message
is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
When decelerating, firmly step on
the brake to decelerate.
• “S PEDAL DRIVE Unavailable
XMODE Activated”
• “S PEDAL DRIVE Temporarily
Unavailable Press Brake to Decel-
erate”
• “S PEDAL DRIVE Temporarily
Unavailable See Owner’s Manual”
