There was one really bizarre illustration demonstrating when air bags inflate, with two Priuses in a head on collision. The illustrations of crash and impact had explosions, but never on the same drawings in each book. I stopped the car and cracked open the instruction manual. I d forgotten the hand brake, actually a foot pedal. Toyota might do well to maybe draw up an icon that s self-explanatory.
Instruction manuals are always so strange.
The regenerative brake works in the following operations. When the accelerator pedal is released, the reduced speed equal to engine breaking in a gasoline-fueled vehicle is obtained in accordance with the running mode position of the selector lever. When the brake pedal is depressed with the selector lever in D or B the regenerative brake works. As long as the car stops when I put my foot on the floor, I m happy. Then off to Evercel in Danbury, which makes a great Nickel-Zinc battery for 2 wheelers in China.
