Instrument Cluster Control

Adjusting Instrument Cluster Illumination The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is changed by pressing the illumination control button (“+” or “-”) when the Engine Start/Stop button is ON, or the tail lights are turned on.

• If you hold the illumination control button (“+” or “-”), the brightness will be changed continuously.
• If the brightness reaches the maximum or minimum level, an alarm will sound.

LCD window control

Type A Type B The LCD window modes can be changed by using the control buttons on the steering wheel.

1. MODE button for changing the LCD MODES
2. MOVE the scroll switch to select the items
3. OK: SET/RESET button for setting the items or resetting the items

For the LCD modes, refer to “LCD Display” in this chapter.

Gauges

Speedometer The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (mph) and/or kilometres per hour (km/h). Tachometer (if equipped) The tachometer indicates the approximate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm). When moving the shift lever to the “S” (SPORT) mode, the engine tachometer is displayed while switching to SPORT mode. Use the tachometer to select the correct shift points and to prevent lugging and/or over-revving the engine. CAUTION Do not operate the engine within the tachometer’s RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage. Hybrid System Gauge Type A Type B The hybrid system gauge indicates whether the current driving condition is fuel efficient or not.

• CHARGE: This shows that the energy made by the vehicle is being converted to electrical energy.(Regenerated energy)
• ECO: Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
• POWER: Shows that the vehicle is exceeding the Eco-friendly range.

NOTICE By the hybrid system gauge area, the “EV” indicator comes on or off.

• “EV” indicator ON: The vehicle is driven using the electric motor or the gasoline engine is stopped except for an engine that can remain idle for automatic heating and air conditioning operation in winter.
• “EV” indicator OFF: The vehicle is driven using the gasoline engine.

Hybrid Battery SOC (State of Charge) Gauge Type A Type B for Plug-in Hybrid This gauge indicates the remaining hybrid battery power. If the SOC is near the “L (Low)” level, the vehicle automatically operates the engine to charge the battery. However, if the Service Indicator ( ) and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)( ) turn on when the SOC gauge is near the “L (Low)” level, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer. NOTICE Never try to start the vehicle if the fuel tank is empty. In this condition, the engine cannot charge the high-voltage battery of the hybrid system. If you try to start the vehicle when the fuel is empty, the high-voltage battery will become discharged and be damaged. Fuel Gauge Type A Type B for Plug-in Hybrid This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTICE

• The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 9.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light which will illuminate when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.

NOTICE Fuel gauge Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger. You must top and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the “E (Empty)” level. CAUTION Low fuel Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire damaging the catalytic converter. NOTICE Fuel display may not be accurate if you are filling in sloping places. Distance to empty Hybrid Type A for Plug-in Hybrid Type B for Plug-in Hybrid Distance To Empty (1)

• The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
  • Distance range : 1 ~ 9,999 mi. or 1 ~ 9,999 km
• If the estimated distance is below 1 mi.(1 km), the trip computer will display “—-” as the distance to empty.
• If the level of the remaining fuel is more than three-quarters, more than 3 liters of fuel must be refilled for the fuel gauge to change. In other cases, more than 6 liters of fuel must be refilled for the vehicle to change the fuel gauge.

For plug-in hybrid

• Electric range (1)

The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining high-voltage battery.

• Gasoline range (2) The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
• Total range (3) Electric distance to empty(1) + Gasoline distance to empty(2)

NOTICE

• If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to the empty function may not operate correctly.
• The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an estimate of the available driving distance.
• The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and the condition of the vehicle.

Odometer The odometer Indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.

• Odometer range : 0 ~ 999,999 miles or 1,599,999 kilometres.

Outside Temperature Gauge This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures by 1°F (1°C).

• Temperature range: -40 ~ 140°F (-40 ~ 60°C)

The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately like a general thermometer to prevent the driver from being distracted. To change the temperature unit (from °C to °F or from °F to °C) The temperature unit can be changed by using the “User Settings” mode of the LCD window. For more details, refer to “LCD window” in this chapter. Dual clutch transmission shift indicator This indicator displays which shift lever is selected. Dual clutch transmission shift indicator
