WELCOME TO THE KIA FAMILY!
Your new Kia vehicle has been designed, engineered and manufactured to provide you with years of comfortable and dependable driving. Kia is committed to quality, innovation, safety and — above all — your satisfaction.
USING THIS FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
The information contained in this guide is a brief overview of the operation and features of your new Kia vehicle.
This Features & Functions Guide and the specific operational and safety information it provides are not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual. In the interest of your safety and that of the vehicle’s occupants, and to help you avoid risks that may result in death or serious injury, Kia reminds you to carefully read the Owner’s Manual in order to fully familiarize yourself with the important information and safety warnings it contains.
While Kia endeavors to ensure that the information contained in this guide is accurate at the time of printing, Kia may change vehicle specifications without notice in advance of or after the fact and assumes no liability in connection with such changes.
VIDEOS AND QR CODES
Kia provides a number of video resources to assist you with becoming familiar with the features and functions found in your Kia vehicle. You can access these resources by snapping the QR Codes with your mobile device using the built-in QR Code Reader or a downloaded QR Code Reader App.
After opening the QR Code Reader App on your mobile device, the app will utilize your device’s camera. Center the code in the camera viewing area — with some apps, as soon as the app recognizes the code, it will launch the corresponding video.
With other apps, you will have to snap or “take a picture” of the code. The app will then launch the corresponding video.
For operation specifics, refer to the instructions that come with the QR Code Reader App. You can also view the videos by visiting the following website: www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos

If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:
•
The code should be centered and focused in your mobile device’s camera screen
•
Consider moving your device closer to or far ther away from the code
•
The code should be well lit, without significant shadow
•Avoid scanning from a significant angle
•
Confirm that the device’s app suppor ts 2D QR Code scanning
•
Tr y another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal

After scanning, you may experience a “connection error ” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages t ypically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet

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, at-tention 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.

Ready indicator light – Illuminates when the vehicle is ready to drive . When the ready indicator light is blinking, a malfunction has occurred . Have an authorized Kia dealer address the concern as soon as possible .
EV Service warning light – Illuminates when there is a malfunction related to the electric vehicle control system . Have an authorized Kia dealer address the concern as soon as possible .
Power down warning light – Illuminates when the vehicle’s speed and per formance are limited for the safety of the electric vehicle .
Charging indicator light – Shows the charging status of the high-voltage battery . When charging, the red indicator turns on . The indicator turns off when not charging .
High-voltage battery level warning light – Illuminates when the high-voltage battery charge level is insufficient .
Regenerative brake warning lights (when both indicators are lit) – Illuminates when the regenerative brake system is not functioning correctly .
A State of Charge (SOC) gauge
The State of Charge gauge displays the high-voltage battery charge status .
•L (low) position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery energy is low
•H (high) position on the gauge indicates that the driving battery is fully charged
B Power / Charge Gauge
Niro EV ’s Power / Charge gauge provides information on the energy consumption rate of the vehicle and the charge status of the regenerative brakes .
•POWER – Shows the energy consumption rate of the vehicle when driving uphill or accelerating . The more electric energy used, the higher the gauge level
•CHARGE – Shows the charging status of the battery when it is being charged by the regenerative brakes . The more electric energy charged, the lower the gauge level
C Remaining Distance
Remaining Distance is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining high-voltage battery level . It is displayed differently according to the selected drive mode and Climate Control settings .
For more information, refer to the Owner ’s Manual .
Energy Consumption
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 inflated to the recommended pressure
•Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle
•Ensure wheels are aligned correctly
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
For more information, refer to section 6 of the Owner ’s Manual .

Low Battery Warning – When the high-voltage battery level reaches 8% or less, this warning message appears on the LCD and the warning indicator light on the instrument cluster illuminates . Charge the high-voltage battery immediately .
Power limited due to low EV battery temperature. Charge battery – When the outside temperature is low and you turn the vehicle on or off, this warning message may appear on the LCD . If the battery level is low and the vehicle is parked outside for a long time, vehicle power may be limited . Charging battery before driving helps increase power .
Stop vehicle and check power supply – When there is a failure in the power supply system, this warning message appears on the LCD . Park the vehicle in a safe location and have it towed to the nearest Kia dealer for inspection .
EV Battery Overheated! Stop Vehicle – When the high-voltage battery temperature is too high, this warning message will appear on the LCD . Stop the vehicle and turn off the Power button so that the battery temperature decreases .
Charge immediately. Power limited – When the high-voltage battery level reaches 3% or less, this warning message appears on the LCD,
the warning indicator light on the instrument cluster illuminates and the power down warning light turns ON simultaneously .
The vehicle’s power will be reduced to minimize the energy consumption of the high-voltage battery . Charge the high-voltage battery immediately .
Power limited – This warning message appears when the vehicle’s power is limited due to the following reasons:
1 . When the high-voltage battery is below a
certain level, or voltage is decreasing
2 . When the temperature of the motor or high-voltage battery is too high or too low
3 . When there is a problem with the cooling system or a failure that may interrupt normal driving
Charge Warning Messages on LCD Display
REMINDERS:
•
When these warning messages are displayed, do not accelerate or star t the vehicle suddenly
•
All stored driving information (except Odometer and Range) is reset if the bat ter y is disconnected
