So I’ve had my ‘22 Hybrid Touring for almost 1yr now. I’ve used the paddle shifters a lot for when I’m approaching stops and just wanting to not necessarily use my foot all the time if need be. But I’ve been searching all over the internet (probably missing something somewhere) and I cannot find a good explanation on how the paddles work and when to use them in either sport of eco or normal mode. All I’ve noticed in sport mode is that they actually do not shut off when I give acceleration but they do in the other modes. Are they linked to the actual braking system or are they connected to the electric motor?

And is there a link to a site or thread on changing the pads and brakes on the hybrids? (If not conventional). Thanks in advance.
