Regenerative braking rate indi-cator
While using the regenerative brakes,
you may select the regenerative
braking rate from 0 to 3 by pulling the
paddle shifter.
For more information, refer to
"Paddle Shifter (Regenerative
Braking Control)" in chapter 5.
Icy road warning light (if equipped)
This warning light is to warn the driv-
er the road may be icy.
When the temperature on the out-
side temperature gauge is approxi-
mately below 40°F (4°C), the Icy
Road Warning Light and Outside
Temperature Gauge blinks, and then
illuminates. Also, the warning chime
is sound.
Information
If the icy road warning light appears
while driving, you should drive more
attentively and safely refraining from
over-speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden braking or sharp turning, etc.

Driving your vehicle
The paddle shifter is used to adjust
the regenerative braking rate from 0
to 3 during decelerating or braking.
Left side ( ): Increases regener- ative braking and deceleration.
Right side ( ): Decreases regenerative braking and decelera-
tion.
Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter to change to 0.
Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter to change to 3.
Information
The paddle shifter does not operate
when:
• Both Paddle shifters are pulled atthe same time.
• The Cruise Control system or Advanced Cruise Control system is
activated.
• The vehicle is shifted to P (Park), R(Reverse) and N (Neutral).
The selected regenerative braking
rate is displayed on the instrument
cluster.
What Does RegenerativeBraking Do?
It uses the electric motor when
decelerating or braking which trans-
forms vehicle motion (kinetic energy)
to electrical energy to charge the
high voltage batteries.

Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode or the vehicle is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will
be longer than with power brakes.
When the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode, the reserve brake
power is partially depleted each time
the brake pedal is applied. Do not
pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
When descending down a
long or steep hill, use the pad-
dle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking
control in order to control
your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively.
Applying the brakes continu-
ously will cause the brakes to
overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.
WARNING

6-3
What to do in an emergency
If you Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately to
slow down the vehicle, but use the
paddle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking con-
trol. Also, do not or attempt to pull
off the road as this may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. When the vehicle has
slowed to such a speed that it is
safe to do so, brake carefully and
pull off the road. Drive off the road
as far as possible and park on firm,
level ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
When the vehicle is stopped, press the hazard warning flasher button,
shift to P(Park), apply the parking
brake, and place the POWER but-
ton in the OFF position. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
When changing a flat tire, follow the instructions provided later in
this chapter.
Confirm the EV Battery Is Not
Low on the Charge Gauge
Be sure the gear is in P (Park). The
vehicle starts only when the gear is
in P (Park).
Check the 12-volt battery connec- tions to be sure they are clean and
tight.
Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle. See instructions for
"Jump Starting" provided in this
chapter.
