Claim 5:
6. A regenerative braking control system for a vehicle, comprising:
one or more user interface elements located in a cabin of the vehicle and corresponding to a plurality of regenerative braking settings, each of the plurality of regenerative braking settings corresponding to a different amount of regenerative braking torque to apply to one or more wheels of the vehicle; and
a processor operatively connected to the user interface elements and configured to:
detect a condition in which the weight of at least one of the vehicle and a trailer operatively connected to the vehicle is below a predetermined weight threshold; and
responsive to detecting the condition, cause the amount of regenerative braking torque for one or more of the regenerative braking settings to be decreased.
