Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive battery. zIf you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal during driving, a braking force that equivalent to engine braking of a combusti on engine vehicle will be generated. Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), effectiveness of the regenerative braking is get- ting strong. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to the driving condition. zRegenerative brake force increases with the foot brake force when the brake pedal is depressed. zIf a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid EV system, or if the ABS and/or the ASC have been activated, the regenerative braking will be restricted.
