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.

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*†7
Lane Keeping Assist (LK A) is designed to detect the lane markers on the road
with a front view camera on the windshield, and may assist the driver’s steering
to potentially help keep the vehicle in the lane. When turned on, the instrument
cluster indicator will initially illuminate white when turned on. It will remain white
when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph or when the system does not
detect the lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can
assist the steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an
audible warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the instrument cluster.
If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LK A may provide steering
inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety button* A is depressed to ON.
There are three available modes:
•Active LK A – Provides more frequent steering inputs than standard LK A
•Lane Keeping Assist – Guides driver to keep vehicle within
lanes and provides steering inputs when vehicle is about to
deviate from the lane
•Lane Departure Warning – Alerts driver when the system
detects the vehicle leaving the lane. In this mode the system
will not provide steering inputs
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane
markers the vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers
