Can someone who has the service manual use it to figure out how regenerative braking is done with the brake pedal?
Some time ago in another thread, someone who took a training course said that pressing the brake pedal first applied the friction brakes, then did regeneration and then more friction.
The owners manual on page EV-8 says "The brake pedal should be used to slow or stop the vehicle depending on traffic or road conditions. The vehicle brakes are not affected by regenerative brake system operation." To me this means that the brake pedal only applies friction brakes. I'm hoping this is just a bad translation but would like to know for sure how it works.
Assuming the brake pedal does some regenerative braking, is there a way to tell when it transitions to friction brakes? This is needed in order to learn how to minimize the use of the friction brakes.
Thanks
