1. A control system for a vehicle comprising:
a controller programmed to, based on an accelerator pedal position,
command a first regenerative braking torque to an electric machine such that the vehicle is slowed without application of friction brakes, and
when availability of regenerative braking torque is reduced, command a second regenerative braking torque to the electric machine and a torque to the friction brakes such that the vehicle is slowed using both.
