tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine.
When the remaining distance is below 50
km, “----” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to
999 km.
✽ ✽NOTICE• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupt-
ed, the “Distance to empty” function
may not operate correctly.

based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.

This value may differ from the actual
driving distance available.

the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an authorized KIA
