Electric Vehicle (EV) Indicators
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.
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 vehicles
•Ensure wheels are aligned correctly
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on
roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained
roads
•Use ECO or ECO+ Drive Modes in certain
weather conditions (rain, snow, wind)
For more information, refer to section 6 of the Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†2 3
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.25

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for 20 minutes, 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
QUICK TIP
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 service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) may interfere with TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate.
