ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) FEATURES
Regenerative Braking with Paddle Shifters
The regenerative braking system charges the battery when
coasting or when you use the brakes to stop the vehicle .
Use the paddle shifters to adjust the regenerative braking
level from 0 to 3 during decelerating or braking . The level
will be displayed on the instrument cluster A .
•Pull the left paddle shifter B to
increase regenerative braking
and deceleration
•Pull the right paddle shifter C to
decrease regenerative braking
and deceleration
The paddle shifters do not operate when:
•Both paddle shifters are pulled at the same time
•The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal
•Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is active
Brake and Hold System
The Brake and Hold System (one-pedal driving) increases the regenerative braking amount
to above level 3 and enables you to come to a full stop by pulling down the left paddle .
•Pull and hold the left paddle shifter B while coasting
•When the vehicle speed is above 1 .9 mph, release the left paddle shifter B for less
than 0 .5 seconds to return to the previously set level of regenerative braking
•When the vehicle speed is below 1 .9 mph, the brake and hold system stops the vehicle
even though the left paddle shifter is released
•While one-pedal driving is active, the driver can control the vehicle stopping position
using the accelerator pedal
REMINDER: The driver’s seat belt must be fastened to operate one-pedal driving .
Do not solely rely on one-pedal driving to stop the vehicle, as it may not be able to stop the vehicle depending on vehicle and road conditions. Pay attention to the road condition ahead and apply the brake if necessary.
Smart Regeneration System
This system automatically adjusts the regenerative braking
level based on a vehicle being detected in front of the Niro EV .
•Activate Smart Regeneration in the User Settings mode .
AUTO D will be displayed on the instrument cluster . AUTO
regenerative brake adjusts regenerative braking based on
the distance with the vehicle in front and its speed
•Pull and hold the right paddle shifter C for more than
1 second to turn on/off the automatic change of the
regenerative braking . The minimum regenerative braking level can be adjusted when in
AUTO mode by using the left and right paddle shifters .
Smart Regeneration is a supplemental system for the driver’s convenience. Do not solely rely on this system to stop the vehicle or avoid collisions. Always cautiously look ahead to prevent unexpected or sudden situations.
For more information on regenerative braking, one-pedal driving or the Smart Regeneration System, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.

DRIVER'S PANEL
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*†7
The FCA system is designed to help alert the driver, and, under
certain conditions, apply emergency braking, when rapidly
approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped .
Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it
detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an
audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings .
To turn FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and turn it off .
If the collision risk increases, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) is designed to automatically apply the brakes to reduce
your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible
collision . FCA is ON by default and can be turned OFF in the User
Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Lane Following Assist (LFA) System*†7
The Lane Following Assist (LFA) System is designed to help
ensure that the vehicle stays in its lane by monitoring the
detected lane ahead and adjusting steering .
To activate or deactivate the LFA System, go to User
Settings in the Instrument Cluster by pressing the Mode
button on the Steering Wheel . Select Driver Assistance >
Driving Assist > LFA (Lane Following Assist) and press the
OK button A on the Steering Wheel .
The LFA System will operate only when these conditions
are met:
• When the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is on and operating
• The vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph and slower than
10 0 mph
Once the system starts operating, the indicator light ()
turns on in the instrument cluster . The indicator will display
the colors according to the system status as follows:
Green=Active White=Standby
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)* is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
REMINDERS:
• FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• If FCA is operating and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA is not operating, the FCA warning indicator will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster
REMINDERS:
• If the ignition is cycled, the LFA returns to its previous state, on or off
• The LFA System is not a substitute for safe and proper driving . Always drive safely and use caution
