Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute
to your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as
maintenance of your vehicle, driving style,
environmental conditions, vehicle weight
and vehicle aerodynamics. Below are
some tips on how to help improve fuel
economy:
•Keep your vehicle in good condition
with regular maintenance
•Don’t let the engine idle longer than
necessary
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating
smoothly and at a moderate rate
•Keep tires inflated to the recommended
pressure
•Travel lightly, without carrying
unnecessary weight in your vehicles
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on
roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
When the Instrument Cluster LCD screen is in the Trip Computer mode,
the screen displays fuel economy information related to the driving
range and average fuel economy.
To change modes, go to User Settings in the LCD Instrument Cluster
modes.
Average Fuel Consumption - Calculates average fuel consumption
from the distance driven and amount of fuel injected into the engine /
total fuel used.

Sport/ECO Modes
The shift modes can be changed A between SPORT and ECO by moving the
shift lever from D to the left gate and back:
(D) - ECO Mode
(S) - Sport Mode - When shift lever is moved into the left gate from (D). If
shift lever is not moved through the gears, then the vehicle will shift
automatically. Sport Mode changes the Niro’s shift points and steering feel,
and makes it more fun to drive
The LCD screen B on the instrument cluster will display the mode the vehicle is in.
ECO Mode (Active ECO)
Active ECO is designed to help improve fuel economy by controlling several
vehicle components. When in ECO Mode, it is designed to optimize drivetrain
operations, such as engine power and transmission, to help improve fuel
economy in a variety of conditions.
(Located in Instrument Cluster)mi
To help improve your fuel economy:
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly and at a moderate rate
•Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
•Be sure the wheels are properly aligned

Bluetooth® Wireless Technology†5,18 (continued)
Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding some accents or uncommon
names. Improve the performance by making a few simple changes to your
phone contacts. To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Voice
Recognition system, see other tips and reminders under Quick Tips.
•Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or single-syllable names
(e.g., “John Smith” vs. “Dad,” “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated names (e.g., @, &,
#, /, -, *, +, etc.)
•Avoid using acronyms (e.g., “In Case of Emergency” vs. “ICE”) or words
with all capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations (e.g., “Doctor Smith” vs.
“Dr. Smith”)
• Bluetooth® Music Streaming: If the Bluetooth® music is inaudible or too low, you may need to turn up the volume on the connected phone
• When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
• Close windows and turn off A /C - Open windows, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with Voice Recognition
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands
