e-SKYACTIV EV

The steering wheel paddle is a function that makes it easy to adjust the vehicle speed according to the accelerator pedal operation.

Acceleration/deceleration is possible according to the various driving conditions such as on an up or down slope, during traffic jams, or high-speed driving.

 

---

Avoid using the steering wheel paddles when driving on wet roads, snow-covered roads, or icy roads:

Otherwise, the tires will slip which could lead to an accident.
