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
