Abstract
A system for controlling a deceleration level or rate of a vehicle. The system includes an accelerator pedal, an accelerator pedal sensor configured to determine whether the accelerator pedal is depressed or released, an alternator having a resistance and an output current and a driving mode switch having an economy mode, a normal mode and a sport mode. The system also includes a vehicle speed sensor for determining a vehicle speed of the vehicle, a memory for storing a preferred range for a vehicle speed and an ECU configured to transmit a first instruction signal to the alternator to increase or decrease its resistance or output current based on a mode set by the driving mode switch when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle speed is within the preferred range of the vehicle speed.
