Features of your vehicle
Trip computer (Tripmeter) (if equipped)
The trip computer is a microcomput-
er-controlled driver information sys-
tem that displays information related
to driving, when the ignition switch is
in the ON position. All stored driving information (except
distance to empty and instant fuel
consumption) will reset if the battery
is disconnected.

Tripmeter
TRIP A: Tripmeter A
TRIP B: Tripmeter B
This mode indicates the distance of
individual trips selected since the
last tripmeter reset.
The meter's working range is from
0.0 to 999.9 miles (0.0 to 999.9 km).
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the tripmeter
(TRIP A or TRIP B) is being dis-
played, clears the tripmeter to zero
(0.0). Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated
distance to empty based on the cur-
rent fuel in the fuel tank and the
amount of fuel delivered to the
engine. When the remaining distance
is below 30 miles (50 km), “---” will be
displayed and the distance to empty
indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 30
to 990 miles (50 to 999 km).

Features of your vehicle
If the vehicle is not on level groundor the battery power has been
interrupted, the “Distance to
empty” function may not operate
correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters
(1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
The fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary signifi-
cantly based on driving conditions,
driving habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
The distance to empty value is an estimate of the available driving
distance. This value may differ from
the actual driving distance avail-
able. Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average
fuel consumption from the total fuel
used and the distance since the last
average consumption reset. The total
fuel used is calculated from the fuel
consumption input. For an accurate
calculation, drive more than 0.03
mile (50 m).
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is displayed, clears
the average fuel consumption to zero
(---). If the vehicle speed exceeds 0.6
MPH (1 km/h) after refueled more
than 6 l
, the average fuel consump-
tion will be cleared to zero (---).

Instant fuel consumption
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption during the last few sec-
onds.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
You must drive more than 6 MPH
(10 km/h) (type A) or 3 MPH (5
km/h) (type B) for this mode to cal-
culate the instant fuel consumption.
Average speed
This mode calculates the average
speed of the vehicle since the last
average speed reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion,
the average speed keeps going while
the engine is running.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
speed is displayed, clears the aver-
age speed to zero (---). Driving time
This mode indicates the total time
traveled since the last driving time
reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion,
the driving time keeps going while
the engine is running.
The meter’s working range is from
0:00~99:59.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the driving time
is being displayed, clears the driving
time to zero (0:00).

Electric power steering(EPS) system warninglight (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates after
the ignition key is turned to the ON
position and then it will go off when
the engine starts.
This light also comes on when the
EPS has malfunctioned. If it comes
on while driving, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia deal-
er.
Fuel cap open warningindicator
This warning light indicates the fuel
filler cap is not tighten securely.
Always make sure that the fuel filler
cap is tight.
ECOMINDER®indicator
(if equipped)
The ECOMINDER®indicator is dis-
played to help you improve fuel effi-
ciency when you are driving.
The ECOMINDER
®indicator will
turn the ECO light green on the
instrument panel when you are
driving efficiently in the ECO ON
mode.
If you don't want the indicator dis-
played, you can turn the ECO ON
mode to OFF mode by pressing
the TRIP button.
When the instant fuel consumption mode(if equipped) is displayed on
the LCD display or the system is
not working properly, the indicator
turns off. If the indicator turns off
when the instant fuel consumption
mode or ECO OFF mode is not
selected, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia deal-
er as soon as possible. Fuel efficiency depends on the dri-
ver's driving habit and road condi-
tion.
The system stops operating when the transaxle is in the P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) position or
sports mode, or when the instant
fuel consumption mode is select-
ed.
ECO
WARNING -
ECOMINDER®indicator
Don't keep watching the “ECO”
ECOMINDER®indicator while
driving. It may distract you
while driving and cause an acci-
dent.

Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, ESC or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
is malfunctioning.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop
mode
Stop the vehicle completely by
pressing the brake pedal.
The idle stop mode activates in case:
The vehicle speed has exceeded 5 mph (8 km/h) at least once and the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) or N
(Neutral) position. The engine will stop and the green
AUTO STOP indicator ( ) on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
type B cluster, the notice will illumi-
nate on the LCD display.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in both
fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
section 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see sec-
tion 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
