VIDEOS AND QR CODES
Kia provides a number of video resources to assist you with becoming familiar with the features and functions found in your Kia vehicle. You can access these resources by snapping the QR Codes with your mobile device using the built-in QR Code Reader or a downloaded QR Code Reader App.
After opening the QR Code Reader App on your mobile device, the app will utilize your device’s camera. Center the code in the camera viewing area — with some apps, as soon as the app recognizes the code, it will launch the corresponding video.
With other apps, you will have to snap or “take a picture” of the code. The app will then launch the corresponding video.
For operation specifics, refer to the instructions that come with the QR Code Reader App. You can also view the videos by visiting the following website: www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos

If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:
•
The code should be centered and focused in your mobile device’s camera screen
•
Consider moving your device closer to or far ther away from the code
•
The code should be well lit, without significant shadow
•Avoid scanning from a significant angle
•
Confirm that the device’s app suppor ts 2D QR Code scanning
•
Tr y another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal

After scanning, you may experience a “connection error ” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages t ypically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet

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 .
