HYBRID INDICATORS AT STARTUP

Power Gauge - Indicates how economically the vehicle is being driven

  • CHARGE – Indicates that the energy made by the vehicle is being converted to electrical energy (regenerative energy)
  • ECO – Indicates that the vehicle is driven in an ECO friendly manner
  • POWER – Indicates that the vehicle is exceeding the ECO friendly range

Hybrid Modes:

  • Hybrid Mode – The high-voltage battery and gasoline engine are used to power the vehicle
  • Electric Mode – The high-voltage battery is used to power the vehicle
  • AUTO Mode – The system automatically selects Electric Mode or Hybrid Mode based on driving conditions

Ready - Illuminates when the Hybrid system is operational. Even if the engine is off, the vehicle can be driven

Service Indicator - Illuminates when a malfunction occurs in the vehicle’s Hybrid system. Have an authorized Kia dealer address the concern as soon as possible

Reminders:

Avoid starting or driving the vehicle when the fuel tank is empty. As the engine will be incapable of charging the high-voltage Hybrid battery, the battery will lose its charge and may be damaged.
