Pedal-Up Braking
Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs when the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle is moving.
Example: If both of the following events occur:
a. The vehicle is being driven down a slope
b. The accelerator pedal is released
The pedal-up braking will slow the vehicle until the vehicle stops, or the accelerator pedal is applied. When pedal-up
braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power that is returned to the batteries.
