Modes: «D» — allows maximum performance as it generates 100 % torque in direct response to accelerator input «ECO» — helps maximize energy usage («fuel economy») by slightly reducing overall power output to reduce the rate
of battery consumption «B» — increases regenerative brake biasing to augment energy recycling (with 100 %
of power
production available)
