I believe it does not regenerate while coasting, but it does if you press the brake pedal to assist engine braking.

Quote:
REGENERATIVE BRAKE
When the brake is applied, the motor generator converts kinetic energy into electric energy. When applying brakes, you may hear a sound coming from the motor generator.
However, this does not indicate any trouble.
The regenerative brake works in the following operations.
1. When the accelerator pedal is released, the reduced speed equal to engine braking in a gasoline−fueled vehicle is obtained in accordance with the running mode position of the selector lever.
2. When the brake pedal is depressed with the selector lever in “D” or “B”, the regenerative brake works.
