energy charged, the lower the gauge level
•ECO GUIDE – Shows the energy consumption rate during normal
driving conditions
•POWER – Shows the energy consumption rate of the vehicle when
driving uphill or accelerating The more electric energy used, the
higher the gauge level
B State of Charge gauge (SOC)
The State of Charge gauge displays the high-voltage battery
charge status
•MIN position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery
energy is low
•MA X position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery is
fully charged
Ready indicator light – Illuminates when the vehicle is ready
to drive When the ready indicator light is OFF or blinking, a

QR CODEActive ECO System
Soul EV is equipped with an ECO feature that improves energy
efficiency and helps extend battery life The Active ECO System
helps reduce energy consumption by controlling several vehicle
components When activated, it optimizes drivetrain operations
to help improve energy economy
Active ECO System ON results in reduced torque, higher energy
efficiency, and enhanced regenerative braking
Active ECO System OFF results in more torque, lower energy
efficiency, and reduced regenerative braking
The Active ECO System is activated by pressing the ACTIVE ECO
button A (LED illuminated) and can be deactivated by pressing the
button again (LED not illuminated) The green ECO indicator light B in
the instrument cluster will illuminate, indicating that ECO is operating
Regenerative Brake Mode “B” – Move the
gear shift to the “B” position C to enter the
maximum regenerative braking drive mode
This mode helps to minimize energy loss and
increase the distance to empty
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
•Be sure the wheels are properly aligned
QUICK TIPS
REMINDER: When Active ECO is activated and the Power button is cycled, the Active ECO system remains ON
For more information on the Active ECO System, refer to your Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.
