ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) FEATURES
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.
For more information on regenerative braking, one-pedal driving or the Smart Regeneration System, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†7, 2 0
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system allows you to set the vehicle to maintain a speed
and predetermined distance from vehicles detected ahead by automatically adjusting the
driving speed as needed . When traffic is encountered, the vehicle may be slowed to help
maintain the set distance from vehicles detected ahead without the driver depressing
the brake pedal .
With the SCC on and activated, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set, and the system
detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, the system can bring the vehicle to a complete
stop . When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, the SCC system re-engages . If the
vehicle ahead stops for more than 3 seconds, the accelerator pedal or the RES+ button
must be pressed to start moving the vehicle .
To set/adjust SCC speed:
•Push the CRUISE button A to turn system ON . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on
the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press button B down to set the speed . The SET indicator light will illuminate . The set
speed and vehicle-to-vehicle distance will illuminate on the LCD screen
•Press the RES+/SET- button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
To adjust the vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting C: Press the SCC button D on
the steering wheel . The images on the LCD screen E and the Instrument Cluster F
will change when scrolling through the settings . Each time the button is pressed, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance changes .
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button G or press the brake pedal .
The LCD screen will display a message that the SCC operation is canceled H .
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button A . The CRUISE indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn OFF .
The SCC system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
