Before Driving
Before Entering the Vehicle
• Make sure all windows, outer side mirror(s), and outside lights are clean
and unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice from both the front and rear windshield as well as
the front side windows.
• Visually check the tires for uneven wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
• Make sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting
• Make sure the hood, the trunk, and the doors are securely closed and locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside rearview mirror and outer side view mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seat belt. Check that all passengers have fastened their seat
belts.
• Check the gauges and indicators in the instrument panel and the messages on
the cluster display when the vehicle is
in the ON position.
• Check that any items you are carrying are stored properly or fastened down
securely.
WARNING To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving. For
more information, refer to the “Seat
Belts” section in chapter 3. • Always drive defensively. Assume other
drivers or pedestrians may be careless
and make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of driving. Driver distraction can cause accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you.

WARNING NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving is
dangerous and may result in an accident
and SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death toll each
year. Even a small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, perceptions and
judgment. Just one drink can reduce your
ability to respond to changing conditions
and emergencies. Your reaction time gets
worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous than
driving under the influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take drugs
and drive. If you are drinking or taking
drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride with a
driver who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver or call
a taxi.

Information Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)
VESS generates virtual engine sound to make
pedestrians to aware. VESS operates when the
vehicle can be driven. When the vehicle in P
(parking) gear status, VESS doesn't work.

CAUTION Always check your surroundings while
driving, backing up, or before driving
from a stop because your electric vehicle
does not make vehicle sounds.

B6013701
To shift the gear to P (Park), press the P
button while depressing the brake pedal.
If you turn the vehicle off in R (Reverse), N
(Neutral) or D (Drive), the gear will
automatically shift to P (Park).
WARNING • Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion may cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has stopped, always make sure the vehicle is in P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and turn the
vehicle off.
• When parking on an incline, shift the gear to P (Park) and apply the parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from
rolling downhill.

Information For vehicles equipped with the Electronic
Parking Brake (EPB), EPB is applied
automatically when the gear is shifted to P
(Park).
Automatic gear shift to P (Park)
The gear is shifted to P (Park)
automatically for safety reasons under
the following conditions:
• When the vehicle is turned off with the
gear in R (Reverse), D (Drive) or N
(Neutral).
• When the driver’s door is open with the vehicle on ( indicator on), the gear
in R (Reverse), D (Drive) or N (Neutral),
and the vehicle at a standstill.
• When the driver’s door is open with the gear in N (Neutral) and the vehicle is
off.
In situations the gear must be in P (Park),
always check if the gear is shifted to P
(Park) by checking the instrument cluster.

intensity level by 1. It will decrease
decelerating intensity.
• Pull and hold the left paddle shifter ( ) for over 0.5 seconds to keep
raising the regenerative braking
intensity level. Holding the paddle
shifter brings the vehicle to stop. (For
more information, refer to the "One
Pedal Driving" section in this chapter.)
• While the smart regeneration system is turned on, pull and hold the right
paddle shifter ( ) for over 1 second to
turn off the smart regeneration system.
(For more information, refer to the
"Smart Regeneration System" section
in this chapter.)
Checking the amount of
regenerative braking
B6001902
The selected regenerative braking level
appears on the instrument cluster.
• When the vehicle is turned off and on again after the regenerative braking
level is in 0, the braking level is changed
to 1.
• When the vehicle is turned off and on again after the i-PEDAL is on, the
braking level is changed to 3.
Regenerative Braking System
Limitations
Regenerative braking intensity cannot be
changed using the paddle shifter in the
following situations when:
• The ( ) and ( ) paddle shifters are pulled at the same time.
• The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal.
• Smart Cruise Control is activated.
• The regenerative braking is continuously operated with the battery
fully charged
• The SNOW mode is activated
Initial setting of the regenerative braking
level and adjustable range may vary
according to the selected Drive mode.
For more information, refer to the "All
Wheel Drive (AWD)" section in this
chapter.
One Pedal Driving
One pedal driving operates the paddle
shifter while coasting to control the
intensity of regenerative braking. It
assists the driver to stop the vehicle
without depressing the brake.
Information Coasting is the process of driving a vehicle
without the brake pedal and the accelerator
pedal depressed. Coasting uses the inertia of
driving energy instead of the vehicle power.

Using one pedal driving
Pull and hold the left paddle shifter ( )
for over 0.5 seconds while coasting to
enable the one pedal driving mode.
• Release the paddle shifter when the vehicle speed is above 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
to return to the previously set
regenerative braking level.
• If the vehicle speed is below 1.8 mph (3 km/h), the vehicle will keep engaging
the brake although the driver releases
the paddle shifter.
• Releasing the paddle shifter after the vehicle comes to a stop will maintain
the vehicle stationary.
CAUTION • The vehicle may not come to a stop although the one pedal driving function
is active, depending on the condition of
the vehicle and the road. Check the
surroundings and depress the brake
pedal to decelerate.
• If the driver depresses the accelerator pedal while pulling and holding the left
paddle shifter ( ) to increase the
braking level, one pedal driving
function operates same as i-PEDAL
function. In this case, the vehicle speed
is no longer controllable through the
paddle shifter.

One pedal driving limitations
In the following conditions, the vehicle
may not come to a stop although the one
pedal driving function is active. Depress
the brake pedal to stop the vehicle when:
• Driving on a slope, or when the vehicle is repeatedly driven and stopped.
• The vehicle is driving through the end of the slope.
• Driving on a slippery surface such as an icy, rainy, or muddy road.
• The wheels are not properly aligned. • A wheel slip or wheel spin occurs.
• The weight on board is heavy.
• The vehicle is tilted to one side.
• The tire is worn out.
Automatic engagement of EPB
Use one pedal driving function to bring
the vehicle to a stop and automatically
engage the Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB).
After the vehicle is stopped, EPB is
automatically applied when any of the
following conditions are satisfied:
• The driver’s seatbelt is unfastened and
the driver’s door is open.
• The gear shifts to N (Neutral).
• The hood is open.
• The trunk is open.
• 5 minutes have passed after the vehicle has stopped.
• One pedal driving is limited due to other reasons.
Using i-PEDAL
i-PEDAL assists the driver to accelerate,
decelerate, and stop the vehicle with only
the accelerator pedal.
Turning on/off the i-PEDAL
• Turning on i-PEDAL:
Pull the left paddle shifter ( ) once
when the regenerative braking level is
at 3. i-PEDAL is turned on and the
instrument cluster displays the
‘i-PEDAL’ message. i-PEDAL is not
available while the smart regeneration
system is on. Turn off the smart
regeneration system first before using
i-PEDAL.
• Turning off i-PEDAL: Pull the right paddle shifter ( ) once
while the function is on. Otherwise,
shift the gear to R (Reverse) then to D
