Overview
Description
The trip computer is a microcomput-
er-controlled driver information sys-
tem that displays information related
to driving.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Some driving information stored in
the trip computer (for example
Average Vehicle Speed) resets if the
battery is disconnected.
Trip ModesEnergy consumption
Average energy consumption (1)
The average energy consumption
is calculated by the total driving dis-
tance and the high voltage battery
consumption since the last average
energy consumption reset.
- Average energy consumptionrange : 0.0 ~ 99.9 miles/kwh
The average energy consumption can be reset both manually and
automatically.

Manual reset
To clear the average energy con-
sumption manually, press the but-
ton (MOVE) on the steering wheel for

age energy consumption is displayed.
Automatic reset
To make the average energy con-
sumption be reset automatically
whenever recharging, select the
“Auto Reset” mode in User Settings
menu of the LCD display (Refer to
“LCD Display”).
Under “Auto Reset” mode, the aver-
age energy consumption will be
cleared to zero (---) when the driving
distance exceeds 0.19 mile (300m)
after recharging more than 10%.Instant energy consumption (2)
This mode displays the instant ener- gy consumption during the last few
seconds when the vehicle speed is
more than 10 km/h (6.2 MPH).
- Instant energy consumptionrange : 0.0 ~ 8miles/kwh

Average Vehicle Speed (2)
The average vehicle speed is cal-culated by the total driving dis-
tance and driving time since the
last average vehicle speed reset.
- Speed range: 200 km/h or 160
MPH
To reset the average vehicle speed, press the RESET ( ) button on
the steering wheel for more than 1
second when the average vehicle
speed is displayed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The average vehicle speed is not dis-
played if the driving distance is less
than 50 meters (0.03 miles) or the
driving time is less than 10 seconds
since the POWER button is turned
to ON.
• Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the average vehicle speed
keeps going while the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode.
Elapsed Time (3)
The elapsed time is the total driv-
ing time since the last elapsed time
reset.
- Time range (hh:mm): 00:00 ~ 99:59
To reset the elapsed time, press the RESET ( ) button on the
steering wheel for more than 1
second when the elapsed time is
displayed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Even if the vehicle is not in motion,
the elapsed time keeps going while
the vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode.
One time driving information mode
This display shows trip distance (1),
battery level (2), charging time status
(3, if equipped) and climate time sta-
tus (4, if equipped).
This information is displayed for a
few seconds when you turn off the
vehicle and then goes off automati-
cally. The information provided is cal-
culated according to each trip.
If the estimated distance is below
15km (9.3 mi.), and a recharging
message will appear (5).
To set the charging time and/or cli-
mate time, refer to a separately sup-
plied navigation manual for detailed
information.

Range
On average, a vehicle can drive
about 148km (93miles) when the
high voltage battery is 100%
charged.
Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON, the
distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance range
from 100~230km. (62~143mi). When
using the heater during cold weather
or driving at high speed, the high
voltage battery consumes a lot more
electricity. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty significantly. After “---” has been displayed, the vehi-
cle can drive an additional 4 ~ 8 km (2.5
~ 5.0 mi.) (depending on driving speed,
heater/air conditioner, weather, driving
style, and other factors).
Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after com-
pleting a recharge may vary signifi-
cantly depending on previous operat-
ing patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, resulting
in the driving battery using more
electricity than usual, the estimated
distance to empty is reduced. When
the high voltage battery uses a little
electricity in ECO mode, the estimat-
ed distance to empty increases.
Distance to empty may depend on
many factors such as the charge
amount of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, durability of
the battery, geographical features,
and driving style.
Natural degradation may occur with
the high voltage battery depending
on the number of years the vehicle is
used. This may reduce the distance
to empty.

Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure are
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to B position for additional
engine braking and stop the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so.Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
Once you set the POWER button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds and then goes off.
When there is a malfunction with the ABS (The normal braking sys-
tem will still be operational without
the assistance of the anti-lock
brake system).
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING - Parking Brake
& Brake Fluid Warning Light
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with
the parking brake released, it
indicates that the brake fluid

WARNING
- Low tire pressure
Significantly low tire pressure makes the vehicle unstable
and can contribute to loss of
vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving or low pres- sure tires will cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
