Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, at-tention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

QR CODE
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator . The indicator will
illuminate if it detects one or more tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed without TPMS
or the outside temperature becomes significantly lower .
The LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire Pressure indicator A showing which tire(s) is underinflated . Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light . See front driver ’s door jamb for PSI specification .
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately one minute then illuminate – see dealer for service .

REMINDERS:
•
Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jamb, visible when the door is open
•
Consult your dealer for ser vice if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote star t systems, etc .) may inter fere with TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate .
For more information, refer to the Owner ’s Manual .

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†1 9
•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month . Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sit ting for sit ting for 3 hours or more, and, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
•In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure during warm weather

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 .
