Hybrid battery SOC (State of Charge) gauge

Type A
Type B

This gauge indicates the remaining hybrid battery power. If the SOC is near the "L (Low)" level, the vehicle automatically operates the engine to charge the battery.

However, if the Service Indicator () and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) () turn on when the SOC gauge is near the "L (Low)" level, we recommend the vehicle to be checked by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
