Nissan X-Trail e-Power (aka T33 X-Trail) - e-Pedal Step when Towing

[Mike B]

I have been towing my caravan with a diesel (T32) X-Trail since 2018. I have just replaced my car with a new Nissan X-Trail 1.5 ePWR e-4ORCE (aka T33). The ePWR Nissan has an "e-Pedal Step" system. When turned on, lifting your foot off the accelerator introduces regenerative braking. It is a popular feature; I always drive with e-Pedal on.

The car manual lists a number of driver assistance systems that must not be used when towing a trailer/caravan. The list includes "e-Pedal Step system". Does anyone know why Nissan advise against use of the e-Pedal when towing?

There is enough in that to convince me to avoid using e-Pedal when towing. Thank you for pointing me to it.
