@kitten if it is electric, then b is extra strong regen braking. (Something closer to one pedal drive)

@kitten I think that’s dynamic braking, the equivalent of shifting to a lower gear to use the engine brake. But no guarantee, it’s been ages since I last drove an electric car

@lis @kitten Just for reference, this is what it would mean if the car was a Toyota hybrid (basically, the car slows down by itself more than usual, to be used on strong downhills to avoid accumulating speed).

@kitten It’s Brive mode of course

(It’s regenerative braking mode, so the car will slow down when lifting off the throttle instead of rolling)
