in miles per hour (mph) and/or kilo-
meters per hour (km/h).
Tachometer (if equipped)
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
When moving the shift lever to the
“S” (SPORT) mode, the engine
tachometer is displayed while switch-
ing to SPORT mode.

Hybrid System Gauge
The hybrid system gauge indicates
whether the current driving condition
is fuel efficient or not. CHARGE : 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
Accordance to the hybrid system
gauge area the “EV” indicator
comes on or off.
- “EV” indicator ON : Vehicle is
driven using the electric motor or
the gasoline engine is stopped
except for an engine can remain
idle for automatic heating and air
conditioning operation in winter.
- “EV” indicator OFF : Vehicle is driven using the gasoline engine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.This may cause severe enginedamage.

Hybrid Battery SOC (State of Charge) Gauge
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
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate 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 vehi-
cle 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.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Fuel display may not be accurate if
you are filling in sloping places.
Distance to empty
CAUTION- Low fuel
Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out offuel could cause the engine tomisfire damaging the catalyticconverter.

Distance To Empty (1)
The distance to empty is the esti-mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range : 1 ~ 9,999 mi. or1 ~ 9,999 km
If the estimated distance is below 1 mi.(1 km), the trip computer will
display “----” as 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 estimat-
ed distance the vehicle can be driven
with the remaining high voltage bat-
tery.
Gasoline range (2)
The distance to empty is the esti-
mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.

NOTICE
• If the vehicle is not on level ground
or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correct-
ly.
• 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, driv-
ing habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
