Warning and indicator lights

Ready indicator

This indicator appears:

When the vehicle is ready to be driven.

  • ON: Normal driving is possible.

  • OFF: Normal driving is not possible, or a problem has occurred.

  • Blinking: Emergency driving.

When the ready indicator goes OFF or blinks, there is a problem with the system. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

EV mode indicator

This indicator appears:

When the vehicle is driven by the electric motor.

Service warning light

This warning light appears:
  • When you set the ENGINE START/STOP button to the ON position.

    • The service warning light appears for approximately 3 seconds and then turns off when all checks have been performed.

  • When there is a problem with the hybrid vehicle control system or hardware.

When the warning light appears while driving, or does not go OFF after starting the vehicle, have your vehicle checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Regenerative brake warning light (yellow)

This warning light appears:

When the regenerative brake does not operate and the brake does not perform well. This causes the Brake Warning light (red) and Regenerative Brake Warning Light (yellow) to appear simultaneously.

If this occurs, drive safely and have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner. The operation of the brake pedal may be more difficult than normal and the braking distance may increase.
