BRAKES
EMERGENCY BRAKING
WARNING: Do not pump the brake
pedal; this will interrupt operation of
the ABS and may increase braking
distance.
In an emergency, apply full pedal effort
even when the road surface is slippery.
ABS will monitor the rotational speed of the
wheels and vary braking pressure to each
according to the amount of traction
available, thereby ensuring that the wheels
do not lock and that the vehicle is brought
to a stop in the shortest possible distance.
Steering control will be maintained no
matter how hard you brake.
Note:
On soft surfaces (powdery snow,
sand or gravel), the braking distance
required by the ABS may be greater than
for non-ABS braking, even though
improved steering would be experienced.
This is because the action of locked wheels
on soft surfaces is to build up a wedge of
surface material in front which assists the
vehicle to stop.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
Whenever the vehicle is moving and your
foot is off the accelerator, regenerative
braking slows the vehicle and feeds energy
back to the high voltage battery.
By anticipating your stops and simply
removing your foot from the accelerator to
slow down, you can take advantage of the
energy gained from regenerative braking.
The power meter on the DIS provides real-
time feedback on the level of regenerative
braking, indicating the amount of energy
being generated and fed back to the high
voltage battery.
The amount of regenerative braking can
vary depending on the current state of the
battery. For example, you’ll experience a
reduction in regenerative braking if the
battery is extremely hot or cold or if the
battery is already charged to its maximum
allowable level.
PARKING BRAKE
APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE
With the vehicle stationary, pull the lever
(arrowed) to apply the parking brake.
The indicator light on the
DIS will illuminate.
Note:
If the lever is operated while the
vehicle is traveling, the park brake will be
fully applied. The stop lamps will not
illuminate. This function works even when
the vehicle is shut-off.
RELEASING THE PARKING BRAKE
With your foot on the brake pedal, push the
lever to release the parking brake.
The indicator light on the DIS will turn off.
With your foot on the pedal, pull the switch
to engage the parking brake.
The indicator in the DIS should illuminate
when the parking brake is engaged.
