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”

Unavailable See Owner’s Manual”
