Gauges
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Tachometer/Power gauge
Tachometer
Indicates the approximate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm).
Power gauge
The hybrid system gauge indicates whether the current driving condition is fuel efficient or not.
-
CHARGE:
Shows that the energy made by the vehicle is being converted to electrical energy. (Regenerated energy)
-
ECO:
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
-
POWER:
Shows that the vehicle is exceeding the Eco-friendly range.
According to the hybrid system gauge area, the "EV" indicator comes on or off.
-
"EV" indicator ON : Vehicle is driven using the electric motor or the gasoline engine is stopped.
-
"EV" indicator OFF: Vehicle is driven using the gasoline engine.
Hybrid battery (State of Charge) (SOC) gauge
This gauge indicates the remaining hybrid battery power. If the SOC is near the "L (Low)" or “0” 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)" or “0” level, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
Never try to start the vehicle if the fuel tank is empty. In this condition, the engine cannot charge the high voltage battery of the hybrid system. If you try to start the vehicle when the fuel is empty, the high voltage battery will be discharged and be damaged.
Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
-
The fuel tank capacity is given in More Details.
-
The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will appear when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
-
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the "E" or “0” level.
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, which could damage the catalytic converter.
The fuel display may not be accurate if the vehicle is on an incline.
Odometer
The odometer Indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.
-
Odometer range: 0~ 999,999 miles or 1,599,999 km.
Distance to empty
-
The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
-
Distance range: 1 ~ 9,999 miles or 1 ~ 9,999 km.
-
-
If the estimated distance is below 1 mile (1 km), the trip computer will display "---" as distance to empty.
-
In order for the vehicle to recognize that it has been refueled, at least 2.9 gallons (11 liters) of gas must be filled.
-
If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to empty function may not operate correctly.
-
The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an estimate of the available driving distance.
-
The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 2.9 gallons (11 liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
-
The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and vehicle condition.
Outside temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures within 1 °F (1 °C).
-
Temperature range: -40 °F~140 °F (-40 °C~60 °C)
The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately like a general thermometer to prevent the driver from being inattentive.
To change the temperature unit (from °C to °F or from °F to °C), select Setup → General → Units → Temperature Unit from the infotainment system.
