*IF EQUIPPED SOUL EV FE ATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that
may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death. The
driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation
of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, other equipment
or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and
focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not
permissible by law should never be used during operation of the
vehicle.

SOUL EV FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE6*IF EQUIPPED
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER\H
The indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure
Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator illuminates if one or more tires is
signicantly underinated, the vehicle has a spare tire
installed without TPMS or the outside temperature becomes
signicantly lower .
Inate tire(s) to specications using an accurate digital tire
pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light
. See
front driver’s door jamb for PSI specication .
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS
Malfunction Indicator
will blink for approximately one
minute and then illuminate - see dealer for service.
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains
illuminated after inating your tire(s) .
There are several factors that contribute to your
electric vehicle’s energy consumption, including
maintenance of your vehicle, driving style,
environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle
aerodynamics.
Below are tips on how to help reduce energy
consumption:
 Keep your vehicle in good condition with regular
maintenance

 Don’t “ride” the brake pedal

 Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly
and at a moderate rate

 Keep tires inated to the recommended pressure

 Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary
weight in your vehicles

 Ensure wheels are aligned correctly

 Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks

 Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
REMINDER: Do not turn the vehicle off by pushing the POWER
button while the vehicle is in motion. If the vehicle has been turned
off the power brake and power steering system cannot operate.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System \fTPMS)
Energy Consumption



Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at
least once a month . Only adjust Tire Pressure on “cold tires”

For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain
recommended tire ination pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle

In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the
tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire ination
pressure during warm weather

For more information on the ECO System, refer to your Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.
Soul EV is equipped with an ECO feature that improves energy
efficiency and helps extend battery life

The ECO System helps
reduce energy consumption by controlling several vehicle
components


When activated, it optimizes drivetrain operations such
as engine power and transmission to help improve energy economy

E

CO System ON results in reduced torque, higher energy efficiency,
and enhanced regenerative braking

E

CO System OFF results in more torque, lower energy efficiency,
and reduced regenerative braking

T

he ECO System is enabled by default and can be disabled by
pressing the ECO OFF button
A The green ECO indicator light B in the instrument cluster will illuminate, indicating that ECO is
operating



To help reduce energy consumption:
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly and at a moderate rate •Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure and wheels aligned properly
