the panel.
Operate the selector lever slowly and secure-ly in the following method.
● (home position) to “D” or “R”: Simply shift the lever.
● (home position) to “N”: Shift and hold at
“N” position for a while.
● (home position) to “B”: You can shift the
selector lever to “B” only when the select po- sition is in “D” position.
When shifted from ● (home position) to “B”,
the regenerative brake force will increase by one step.
When shifted to “B” once again, the regener-
ative brake force will become the maximum.
When you shift the selector lever to “D”, the select position returns to “D”.
NOTEl If you operate the select lever to (B) twice
too quickly, the regenerative brake force
may not become the maximum.

wheel when you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal while driving.
By pulling the regenerative braking level se-
lector, the brake force (amount of electricalenergy to charge the drive battery) can be ad-
justed according to the driving condition such as before a curve or a downhill.
The regenerative braking level can be switch- ed in 6 levels from B0 (small regenerative
braking force) to B5 (large regenerative brak- ing force).CAUTIONl If a large regenerative brake force is applied
on a slippery road, tyres may skid. Always
drive safely in accordance with the prevail- ing road condition.
l If you operate the right and left paddles si-
multaneously, the regenerative brake force
level may not change.NOTEl Repeated continuous operation of a paddle
will continuously change the brake forcelevels.
l If you turn on the cruise control when the
level B0 or B1 (smaller regenerative brake
force) is selected, the level is returned to the
normal level B2 automatically.
l Under the cruise control, the level B0 or B1
cannot be selected. The buzzer sounds if you
try to select these levels.
l On vehicles with the adaptive cruise control
system (ACC), you cannot control the regen- erative brake force level while the adaptive
cruise control system (ACC) is operating. The buzzer sounds if you operate the pad-
dles.
