NIRO EV FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
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.
