Controlling the Regenerative Braking Level

Close-up of cluster of the EV6
Regenerative braking is a technology that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy during deceleration, effectively charging the high-voltage battery. Elevate your driving experience and enhance energy efficiency by using the convenient paddle shifter located on the steering wheel.

How to adjust the regenerative braking level

The intensity of regenerative braking in Kia's EV models can be adjusted across four levels, ranging from 0 to 3, using the paddle shifter on the steering wheel.

  • Pulling the left paddle shifter increases the regenerative braking intensity by one level, increasing the deceleration of the vehicle.
  • Pulling the right paddle shifter decreases the regenerative braking intensity by one level, reducing the deceleration of the vehicle.
  • The regenerative braking intensity can be set from 0 to 3 levels using the paddle shifter, and you can monitor the selected level on your instrument panel.
  • If you pull and hold the left paddle shifter for more than 0.5 seconds, the regenerative braking intensity will increase to maximum. Continuing to hold it will bring the car to a complete stop.

Cautions

  • The regenerative braking level and adjustment range may vary based on the selected drive mode.
The availability and operation of features may vary depending on the model, trim, and region. For detailed information, please refer to the owner’s manual for your vehicle.
