Deceleration Paddle Selector

Use the deceleration paddle selector to control the rate of deceleration. This
simulates engine braking as it recovers energy via regenerative braking and
helps you keep a distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead.
To select the different stages of
deceleration, do this:
1. Pull back the + selector (right side) to
decrease the deceleration stage.
2. Pull back the - selector (left side) to
increase the deceleration stage.
Pull the (+) selector for a few seconds when you
want to cancel the deceleration paddle selector.

indicator
Be careful not to decelerate too quickly. Rapid deceleration can cause the
tires to skid, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.
In the following situations, the deceleration stage may decrease or cancel
automatically:
• The high voltage battery is fully charged or its temperature is too cold or too
hot.
• The speed of the vehicle is beyond the deceleration range.
• Power system protection is needed.
• The paddle selector is operated while your vehicle is stopped automatically
by ACC with LSF.
