Charge immediately. Power limited
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 7%, this warning
message illuminates.
In this case, the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster ( ) and the
power down warning lamp ( ) turn
ON simultaneously and the distance
to empty gauge will be displayed as
“---”.
The vehicle’s power will be reduced
to minimize the energy consumption
of the high voltage battery. Charge
the battery immediately.
Power limited
In the following cases, this warning
message illuminates when the vehi-
cle’s power is limited for the safety.
When the high voltage battery isbelow a certain level, or voltage is
decreasing.
When the temperature of the motor or high voltage battery is too high
or too low.
When there is a problem with the cooling system or a failure that
may interrupt normal driving. When this warning message is dis-
played, do not accelerate or start the
vehicle suddenly.
Charge the battery immediately
when the high voltage battery level is
not enough.

Low Battery Temp. Power limited
This warning message illuminates to
protect battery and electric vehicle
system when the high voltage bat-
tery temperature is too low.
If this warning message is still illumi-
nated even after the ambient temper-
ature has increased, have your vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Battery Overheated! Stop vehicle
This warning message illuminates to
protect battery and electric vehicle
system when the high voltage bat-
tery temperature is too high.
Turn off the POWER button and stop
the vehicle so that the battery tem-
perature decreases.
If this warning message is still illumi-
nated even after you have stopped the
vehicle for a certain time, refrain from
driving and have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized Kia dealer.
Stop vehicle and check powersupply
This warning message illuminates
when a failure occurs in the power
supply system.In this case, park the
vehicle in a safe location and tow
your vehicle to the nearest author-
ized Kia dealer and have the vehicle
inspected.

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.

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: 160 MPH or 200km/h
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 0.03 miles (50 meters) 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 9.3
mi.(15km), and a recharging mes-
sage 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 111miles (179km) 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 75~162mi. (120~260km). 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 2.5~6.0 mi.
(4~9 km) (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.
