9.5.1.2. e-Pedal System Operation

When the e-Pedal system is activated, the regenerative brake is enhanced and the driver can adjust the vehicle speed by only depressing or returning the accelerator pedal. When you release (take your foot off) the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows down and comes to a stop smoothly without depressing the brake pedal. After a stop, the vehicle is held stationary automatically.

The e-Pedal system will be turned ON or OFF each time the e-Pedal switch is pulled. (The e-Pedal indicator in the Vehicle Information Display shows the status of the e-Pedal system.)

When the e-Pedal system is activated, the characteristics of the accelerator pedal change significantly and the accelerator pedal operates differently than a conventional one operates. Be sure to confirm the status of the e-Pedal system (ON or OFF) in the Vehicle Information Display before driving.
