Driving your vehicle

Regenerative braking system
When driving uphill or downhill, always
shift to D (Drive) for driving forward or
shift to R (Reverse) for driving back
-
wards, and check the gear position indi
-
cated on the cluster before driving.
Driving in the opposite direction of the
selected gear can lead to a dangerous
situation by shutting off the vehicle and
affecting the braking performance.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
僅 ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a colli
-
sion, an unbelted occupant is signifi
-
cantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
僅 Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
僅 Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
僅 The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
僅 Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.
僅 In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
僅 Kia recommends you follow all posted
speed limits.
Regenerative braking system
The regenerative braking system allows
you to charge the battery when you use
the brakes to stop the vehicle.
Regenerative braking (Paddle
shifter)
The paddle shifter is used to adjust the
regenerative braking level from 0 to 3
during decelerating or braking.
僅 Left side ( ): Increases regenerative
braking and deceleration.
僅 Right side ( ): Decreases regenera
-
tive braking and deceleration.
Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter
for more than 0.5 seconds and One
Pedal Driving function is operated,
increasing the regenerative braking. In
this case, stopping the vehicle is possible
by pulling the paddle shifter.
* Refer to "One pedal driving" on page 6-
13.
Pull and hold the right side paddle
shifter for over 1 second to turn on and
off the automatic change of the regener
-
ative braking.
* Refer to "Smart regeneration system"
on page 6-15.
