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 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.

G Power Gauge - Indicates how economically the vehicle is being driven.
• CHARGE H – Indicates that the energy made by the vehicle is being converted
to electrical energy (regenerated energy)
• ECO I – Indicates that the vehicle is being driven in an ECO-friendly manner
• POWER J – Indicates that the vehicle is exceeding the ECO-friendly range
K EV Mode - Illuminates when only the electric motor is powering the vehicle
L Ready - Illuminates when the Hybrid system is operational. Even if the engine is
off, the vehicle can be driven
M Service Indicator – Illuminates when a malfunction occurs in the vehicle’s Hybrid
system. Have an authorized Kia dealer address the concern as soon as possible
REMINDER: Avoid starting or driving the vehicle when the fuel tank is empty. As the engine will be incapable of charging the high-voltage Hybrid battery, the battery will lose its charge and may be damaged.

REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of the driver’s door jamb, visible when the door is opened.
• Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s).
• Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate.
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR Code above to view a video or refer to section 6 in the Owner’s Manual.

Low Tire Pressure
•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for approximately 20 minutes, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain the recommended tire inflation 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 inflation pressure during warm weather
QUICK TIPS
The TPMS indicator functions as both the Low Tire Pressure
Light and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more
tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed
without TPMS or the outside temperature becomes significantly lower.
The Low Tire Pressure Position
Indicator A is displayed on the LCD
screen in the Instrument Cluster when
the tire(s) is underinflated. Inflate
the tire(s) to specifications using an
accurate tire pressure gauge to turn
off the Low Tire Pressure Indicator .
See the front driver’s door jamb for
PSI specifications.
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate. See the
dealer for service.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†2 6
Fuel Economy
Several factors 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:
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
•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

– Acceleration may be slightly reduced even when the accelerator is fully depressed
– Air conditioner performance may be limited
– Shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change
– Engine noise may increase
– System’s power will be limited when driving uphill
•
When SPORT mode is selected, fuel economy may decrease
•
The system defaults to ECO mode when ignition is in the ON position
•
Steering effort may be slightly increased in SPORT mode
