Easing off the pedal will put the car into coasting mode. The needle on the RHS of the display should be at the 3 o’clock position. Releasing the pedal slightly will result in the car starting to brake. The more you ease off the greater the braking effect. With practice, it is possible to drive without ever using the brake pedal. Unlike D mode, the car will remain stationary until the accelerator is pressed. FWiW, I drive in B mode on country roads and around towns as it is a lot easier than using the brake pedal. In case you are not aware, coasting when you can will maximise range. Last edited by DaveCV; 01-19-2022 at 12:04 PM.. |

Yup works a treat, how I drive 90% of the time, wife hasn't got used to it yet, but sure she will when her leaf arrives shortly as that was one of the OG one pedal cars.

DaveCV has described it perfectly. I just wish you could tell D to behave like B without the extra movement, maybe with low. medium, high and B regen, as I always put it in B. After years getting used to one-pedal driving with an i3 I only want this.

It’s annoying that I have to slide it into the B position every time. I occasionally get to the end of my road and wonder why the car isn’t breaking - then realise I haven’t flipped it over. |

For 11 months my company provided me with a brand new Ford Kuga, while waiting for the iX3. When I got in it, I never knew whether the aircon would be on or off. It was completely random. Inevitably on wet days it would turn itself off... |

At least the system 'pops' it out of B mode when it parks or you press p/open the door. Something amusing about the gear level self popping across again 😂
