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 When stronger regenerative braking is gen-
erated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not depressed.
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.To decrease regenerative brake
