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 C .
•Pull the left paddle shifter A to
increase regenerative braking
and deceleration
•Pull the right paddle shifter B 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 A while coasting
•When the vehicle speed is above 1 .9 mph, release the left paddle shifter A 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 B for more than
1 second to turn on/off the automatic change of the
regenerative braking
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.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*†7
The FCA system is designed to help alert the driver, and, under certain conditions, apply emergency braking,
when 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 and other conditions are met, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is designed to
automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision .
FCA can be turned ON 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
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA / FCW 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
• FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
• If FCA is operating and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned of f, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA is not operating, the FCA warning indicator will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)†9
The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the vehicle during certain
cornering maneuvers . It is a good idea to keep ESC turned ON whenever
possible .
Press ESC OFF button B to disable Traction Control in ESC (ESC OFF
indicator will illuminate) .
To turn both Traction Control and Stability Control off, press and hold ESC
OFF button B (ESC OFF indicator will illuminate, and an alert sounds) .
REMINDERS:
•ESC is active by default at vehicle startup
•
The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate whenever the ESC is in operation
For more information on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and its specific features and operations, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline.
Instrument Cluster Control
Press switch A up or down to
adjust display brightness of the
instrument panel illumination .
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)†9
The HAC system is designed to help prevent the vehicle from rolling
backward when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline .
The HAC system automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but
does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned .
REMINDERS:
•
The HAC system does not operate when the Rotary Dial Shifter Knob is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•In the event of an HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for service
•
•When HAC is active (e .g ., accelerating from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator . This is normal HAC operation
•HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward

QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:
•
In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down the vehicle
•
SCC system is activated when ignition is turned on . Speed will need to be reset when ignition is cycled on
•
The distance settings are approximations and may vary depending on speed and factory settings at the time . See owner’s manual for more information
•
The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, Rotary Dial Shifter Knob is changed out of D (Drive) and various other conditions . See owner’s manual for other conditions
•
If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently . Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of
