When you release the accelerator pedal, you can control the rate of deceleration without releasing your hands from the steering wheel. Using the deceleration paddle selector situated on the steering wheel, you can sequentially shift through four stages of deceleration.
To select the different stages of deceleration:
- Pull back the + selector (right side) to decrease the deceleration stage.
- 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.
CAUTION
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 with SPORT mode off.
- Hybrid system protection is needed.
- The paddle selector is operated while your vehicle is stopped automatically by ACC with LSF.
