Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†24
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 Ashowing 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.
•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a
month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires,” i.e., 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
QUICK TIP
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 service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating
your tire(s)
Personal electronic devices (such
as laptops, wireless chargers,
remote start systems, etc.) that have
electronic noise may interfere with
TPMS system, which may cause
the Malfunction Warning Indicator
(Check Engine Light) to illuminate.
Energy Consumption
There are several factors that contribute to
your electric vehicle’s energy consumption,
including maintenance of your vehicle, driving
style, environmental conditions, vehicle weight
and vehicle aerodynamics.
Below are tips on how to help reduce energy
consumption:
•Keep your vehicle in good condition
with regular maintenance
•Don’t “ride” the brake pedal
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating
smoothly and at a moderate rate
•Keep tires inflated to the recommended
pressure
•Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary
weight in your vehicles
•Ensure wheels are aligned correctly
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on
roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained
roads
•Use ECO or ECO+ Drive Modes in certain
weather conditions (rain, snow, wind)

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 Ato
increase regenerative braking
and deceleration
•Pull the right paddle shifter Bto
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 Awhile coasting
•When the vehicle speed is above 1.9 mph, release the left paddle shifter Afor 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 Dwill 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 Bfor 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.
