Selector Lever (Joystick type)
NOTE
When the main drive lithium-ion battery
level is full or nearly full, or the main drive
lithium-ion battery temperature is too hot or
too cold, regenerative braking force may be
reduced and stronger effort may be required
to operate the brakes.

Regenerative braking force
level selector (paddle type)
While the "D" (DRIVE) or "B" (REGENER-
ATIVE BRAKE) position is selected, the
regenerative braking force level can be
changed by pulling one of the regenerative
braking force paddle selectors toward you.
One of six regenerative braking force levels,
B0 (without regenerative braking), or B1
(weakest level) to B5 (strongest level), can be
selected.
When stronger regenerative braking is
applied, more energy will be charged to the
main drive lithium-ion battery.
Refer to "Regenerative braking" on Page 3-4.

To decrease the regenerative braking
force: Pull the "+" selector.
The regenerative braking force will
become weaker by one level with each
operation.
To increase the regenerative braking
force: Pull the "−" selector.
The regenerative braking force will
become stronger by one level with each
operation.
To return to the normal regenerative brak-
+
ing force level (B2), pull and hold the "+"
selector for two seconds or more. When
the regenerative braking force is returned
to the default level (B2), "D" will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
WARNING
When a stronger regenerative braking
force level is selected and the vehicle is
driven on a slippery road, if the accelera-
tor pedal is abruptly released, strong
regenerative braking force will be applied
which could cause the vehicle to skid and
result in an accident.
Always select a suitable regenerative
braking force level for the road condition.
NOTE
The regenerative braking force level may not
change when the lateral regenerative braking
force level selectors are operated at the same
time.
Repeated continuous operation of the regen-
erative braking force level selector will con-
tinuously
