Regenerative Braking & One Pedal Driving｜e-Niro How-To｜Kia

[@farrokhbulsara90]

Is there a way to set this option permanently? because when you turn off the vehicle and then you turn on it, this option turns off.

I loved my EV. Used the paddles a lot, mostly left it on L3. Now my PHEV doesn't have paddles. :(

I drive a lot in hilly terrain. When going downhill, what should I do to recapture maximum energy and reduce break wear? - keep the break lightly pressed as the vehicle rolls downhill. - coast downhill with regerative-breaking level set to L2 or L3 - set a cruising speed of around 25 mph and cruise downhill.

Use the Regen all you can. Save your brakes, -- don't need to stop with heat, make electricity.

Hi! I read in some forums that regenerative braking can damage some engine parts, like rotors. Is there any truth about that or can we keep using this great feature?

[@KiaWorldwideOfficial]

Thanks for your question. We recommend speaking to your local Kia dealership to get the latest and most accurate information on regenerative braking.

Do the brake lights come on when using regenerative braking on a self charging Niro Hybrid and if so at what level? Ive tried for over a year to get a definitive answer to this question and all Ive got so far is various differing opinions!!

[@warbstowcross]

They come on at level 2 and level 3

I know my LEAF does. I’m sure it’s a federal regulation of some type.

Seems compicated. Not pure one pedal driving

[@nicebigdog]

I still have no idea what this is. Is it like a boat where you let go of the gas to stop?

[@SidBonkers51]

Its like changing down gears in a manual car to braking slowly or going down hill, three levels of braking from mild getting stronger each step, I use it all the time.

[@raimondasnikstus377]

@@SidBonkers51 not exactly. If you use auto mode, it is not braking before car sees something in front of itself. f.e. another car. if in manual, then it is constant braking during drive. Then you feel it even when accelerating.

@@raimondasnikstus377 Sorry I dont know what you mean by auto and manual? Im talking about regenerative braking using the paddles which have 3 levels of regen braking, what Im asking is "do the brake lights come on when using generative braking" and if so at which level. I suspect they may come on when using level 3 as that has the most braking effect but there is no way of knowing as you cant see if the brake lights are on when your driving.ps. you replied to the wrong comment ;)

[@raimondasnikstus377]

@@SidBonkers51 I have replied to the wrong comment. Still I talk about same thing - paddle on the right hand side holding longer than 1 sec. turns on auto mode on regenerative braking system. That you can see under battery sign in panel by appearing ''auto'' sign. Then car follows obstacles in front and brakes itself. But is there a brake light when car brakes - good question. Will try to find out with someone driving behind :).

Surely it has proper brakes to

[@lexiladylou3569]

Yeh it does 😅

[@omelborpon3159]

So sorry, Kia. For some reason, I can not get past the first 6 seconds of your video. And I keep playing it over and over again.
