Deceleration Paddle Selector  
When you release the accelerator pedal, you can control the rate of deceleration  
without removing your hands from the steering wheel. Using the deceleration  
paddle selector situated on the steering wheel, you can sequentially shift through  
four stages of deceleration.  
When descending a hill, you can use the deceleration paddle selector to help  
maintain the rate of deceleration, thereby allowing you to keep a safe distance  
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.  
3CAUTION  
Rapidly increasing the deceleration rate by  
quickly shifting the deceleration paddle  
selector can cause the tires to skid, resulting  
in a crash that could injure or kill someone.  
Always maintain a reasonable rate of  
deceleration.
