■Using regenerative brake
●When high speed driving, the feeling of deceleration with regenerative brak-
ing is smaller than the deceleration feeling obtained on conventional vehi-
cles.
● When strong regenerative braking is required, shift the shift lever to S or B.
Continuously running in S or B can lead to poor power consumption. Drive
normally in D.
● If “REGENERATIVE BRAKIN G LIMITED” appears on the multi-information
display, firmly depress the brake pedal to decelerate the vehicle. ( P. 347)
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 383
CAUTION
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Avoid sudden acceleration or sudden shifting operations. Take care that
sudden changes to the regenerative brake power can lead to the vehicle
skidding to side or spinning.
