Regenerative Braking system
Similar to engine braking on engine-powered vehicles, the electric motors act as generators when the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is depressed while driving. In this way, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy, which is then used to charge the battery.
The flow of energy during regenerative braking is displayed on the instrument cluster.
The intensity of regenerative braking can be selected from two levels, using the gear selector lever. Using the paddles, the intensity can be selected from six levels.*
* Lightly touching the brake pedal when in regenerative mode will increase the regenerative effort rather than wasting the kinetic energy into brake heat and wear to brake components.

08 Refuelling
Fuel lid (for refuelling)
The fuel lid is located towards the rear end of the vehicle on the left side. Pull up the lever to open the lid.
• Use unleaded petrol (Do not use diesel fuel).
• Discharge static electricity from your body before slowly opening the fuel cap.
• Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler opening.
• Do not attempt to refuel more after the fuel nozzle has stopped refuelling.
• Observe precautions posted at the fuel station.
If the fuel remains unused in your vehicle for a long time due to infrequent use of the vehicle, the quality may degrade and then damage the engine and fuel system parts. To avoid this, do the following.
— Once every 3 months, start and run the engine by pressing the battery charge switch. Refer to “Battery Charge Switch” on Page 12.
— Refuel your vehicle with at least 20 litres every 3 months.
09 Auto light control
With the auto light control set in AUTO, the headlights, side lights and other exterior lights come on and go off automatically according to the outside brightness while driving and during a standstill. The lights go out when the power switch is set to OFF.
