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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

5*IF EQUIPPEDALWAYS CHECK THE OWNER ’S MANUAL FOR COMPLETE OPER ATING INFORMATION AND SAFET Y WARNINGS .
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 .

The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator . The indicator will
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 LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire Pressure indicator A showing which tire(s) is underinflated . Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light . See front driver ’s door jamb for PSI specification .
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately one minute then illuminate – see dealer for service .

REMINDERS:
•
Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jamb, visible when the door is open
•
Consult your dealer for ser vice if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote star t systems, etc .) may inter fere with TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate .
For more information, refer to the Owner ’s Manual .

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†1 9
•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month . Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sit ting for sit ting for 3 hours or more, and, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain 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
