The i-Pedal function in Kia vehicles is an innovative system designed to make driving more intuitive and reduce driver fatigue, especially in heavy traffic or during parking manoeuvres. The i-Pedal combines regenerative braking with traditional braking, so by lifting your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle slows down almost as if you were pressing the brake.

This allows for smoother and more natural speed management without constantly switching between the accelerator and brake. In this video, see how to proceed if this function does not activate by pulling the paddle located on the left side of the steering wheel: it is possible that the vehicle is currently in automatic regenerative mode, indicated by a warning that appears on the display in the bottom right.

To disable this function and enable the i-Pedal, hold down the right paddle until the warning on the display disappears. After that, you can pull the lever on the left, and the function will activate normally.
