Gauges
The gauges display various information such as the speed of the vehicle, and so on.
Speedometer
Type A
Type B (km/h)/ (mph)
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (mph) and kilometres per hour (km/h).
Tachometer
Type A / Type B
The tachometer indicates the approximate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm). 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.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Type A / Type B
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the ENGINE START/STOP button is ON.
The Kia Sportage speedometer display is a critical component of its Kia Sportage 2023 dashboard, providing real-time information about the vehicle’s speed to the driver.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine. Do not continue driving with an over-heated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the engine overheats” on page 6-7.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could severely burn. Wait until the engine is cool before add-ing coolant to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
Type A / Type B
This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
NOTICE
- The fuel tank capacity is given in “Recommended lubricants and capacities”
- The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will appear 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.
WARNING
Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the ” E” level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, which could dam-age the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
The fuel display may not be accurate if the vehicle is on an incline.
Odometer
Type A / Type B
The odometer Indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when periodic maintenance should be per-formed.
- Odometer range: 0 ~ 1,599,999 km or 999,999 miles.
Distance to empty
Type A / Type B
- The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 9,999 km or 1 ~9,999 mi.
- If the estimated distance is below 1 mile (1 km), the trip computer will dis-play “—” as distance to empty.
- If the level of the remaining fuel is more than three-quarters, more than 0.8 gallons (3 liters) of fuel must be refilled for the fuel gauge to change. In other cases, more than 1.6 gallons (6 liters) of fuel must be refilled for the vehicle to change the fuel gauge.
NOTICE
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to 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 trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 1.6 gallons (6 liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
- The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle.

- Temperature range: -40 °F ~ 140 °F (- 40 °C ~ 60 °C) The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately like a general thermometer to prevent the driver from being inattentive.
