The e-Pedal system provides the following
driving features:
When driving and stopping the vehicle:
• Depressing or returning the accelerator
pedal changes the degree of accelera-
tion and deceleration accordingly.
• Returning the accelerator pedal gener-
ates more deceleration than normal. (The
maximum deceleration changes accord-
ing to the vehicle speed.)
• Releasing (taking your foot off) the accel-
erator pedal reduces the vehicle speed
until the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The vehicle’s brake lights illuminate when
the deceleration level reaches an ordi-
nary braking operation.
If the deceleration is not sufficient when the
accelerator pedal is returned or released,
depress the brake pedal. The brake pedal
can be operated to reduce the vehicle
speed in the same way as normal even
when the e-Pedal system is activated.
When restarting the vehicle:
• After the vehicle comes to a stop by the
e-Pedal system function, the vehicle re-
mains at a stop as long as the accelerator
pedal is released.
• The vehicle’s brake lights remain illumi-
nated when the vehicle is stopped by the
e-Pedal system.
• Depress the accelerator pedal to start
the vehicle again from a stop.
When the vehicle needs to be stopped for a
certain period of time, place the vehicle in
the P (Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
CAUTION
When the e-Pedal system is turned off,
remember to depress the brake pedal
firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing with the shift lever in any position
other than P (Park).
When backing up the vehicle:
• With the shift lever in the R (Reverse) po-
sition, operating the accelerator pedal
adjusts the vehicle speed (acceleration,
deceleration, or stopping) in the same
way as the D (Drive) position.
Other driving tips for the e-Pedal
system:
• For smooth deceleration when the
e-Pedal system is activated, it is recom-
mended that you adjust the accelerator
pedal by either depressing or returning,
not releasing, the pedal.
• Moving the shift lever from D (Drive) to B
mode or from B mode to D (Drive) does
not affect the e-Pedal system feature.
• The e-Pedal system does not function
under the following conditions:
– When the vehicle is placed in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position
– When cruise control (if so equipped),
ProPILOT Assist (if so equipped), or Au-
tomatic Emergency Braking with Pe-
destrian Detection operates
