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 stop the vehicle by pulling the paddle shifter
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 at tention to the road condition ahead and apply the brake if necessar y .
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
Smar t 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 .

FCA Warning Volume can be adjusted in the User Set tings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Set tings* on the audio head unit . Go to Driver Assistance, then Warning Volume .
QUICK TIP
Collision Warning
Emergency Braking
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking . Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A .
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision .
FCA User Settings:
•FCA is ON by default in most Kia models . FCA can be turned ON/ OFF by going to the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster
•To go to User Settings , press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and with the ignition on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the ON position
•Press the OK button C up/down and select User Settings then Driver Assistance
– In some models, go to Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist or Forward Collision Warning and press the OK button C
– In other models, go to Forward Safety and select Active Assist, Warning Only or Off
Then select one of the following modes:
– Active Assist: Vehicle will provide a warning (audible & visual) and may apply the brakes if needed
– Warning Only: Vehicle will provide a warning only (audible & visual)
– Off: System is off, no warnings or braking provided
•To adjust the FCA initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , Driver Assistance, Warning Timing then select Fast, Normal or Slow, depending on your Kia model:
– F a s t : When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated earlier than normal
– Normal: This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Slow: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
FCA/FCW will become active when the:
•Ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button* is ON
•Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
