Kia Instrument Cluster Guide
Type A
Type B
The actual cluster in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
- Fuel gauge
- Engine coolant temperature gauge
- LCD display
- Warning and indicator lights
Instrument cluster (if equipped)
The Type B cluster provides two themes.
Theme A/B/C
Theme A/B/C is the basic theme of the full LCD type cluster and provides different graphic styles depending on drive mode.
Dynamic Theme
Dynamic Theme is set by the user and provides digital display. The background screen changes according to the weather and time.
- Weather: clear, cloudy, rainy, snowy, foggy, lightning, clear up (7 types)
- Time: night, day, sunrise and sunset (4 types) You can change the theme by selecting “Vehicle →Cluster →Theme Selection” on the menu.
NOTICE
The information is displayed after get-ting information from a weather infor-mation provider via GPS. Depending on conditions of GPS reception, the infor-mation may be different from the cur-rent weather in your area. If no information is received via GPS (e.g., not subscribed to Kia Connect ser-vice), the weather and time will be dis-played as ‘sunny’ and ‘night’ on the cluster.
Adjusting instrument cluster illumination
WARNING
Never adjust the instrument cluster while driving. This could result in loss of control and lead to an accident that may cause DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, or property damage. The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is changed by pressing the illumination control switch (“+” or “-“) when the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is ON, or the tail lights are turned on.
- If you hold the illumination control switch (“+” or “-“), the brightness will be changed continuously.
- If the brightness reaches to the maximum or minimum level, an alarm will sound.
Gauges
The gauges display various information such as the speed of the vehicle, and so on.
Speedometer
Type A
Type B
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in kilome-ters per hour (km/h) and/or miles per hour (mph).
Tachometer
Type A
Type B
The tachometer indicates the approxi-mate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the correct shift points and to prevent lugging and/or over-revving the engine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer’s RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Type A
Type B
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is ON.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area (between the C-H) toward the “H” position, it indicates over-heating that may damage the engine. Do not continue driving with an over-heated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the engine overheats” on page 7-6.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could severely burn. Wait until the engine is cool before add-ing coolant to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
Type A
Type B
This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
NOTICE
- The fuel tank capacity is given in “Recommended lubricants and capacities” on page 9-6.
- The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will appear 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.
WARNING
Fuel Gauge
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indi-cator comes close to the “E” level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, which could dam-age the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
The fuel display may not be accurate if the vehicle is on an incline.

Odometer
Type A
Type B
The odometer Indicates the total dis-tance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when periodic maintenance should be per-formed.
- Odometer range: 0 ~ 1599999 km or 0 ~ 999999 miles
Distance to empty
Type A
Type B
- The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 9,999 km or 1 ~ 9,999 miles
- If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mile), 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 (0.8 gallons) of fuel must be refilled for the fuel gauge to change. In other cases, more than 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel must be refilled for the vehicle to change the fuel gauge.
NOTICE
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to empty function may not operate correctly.
- The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an estimate of the available driving distance.
- The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
- The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle.
Outside temperature gauge
Type A
Type B
This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures by 1 °C (1 °F).
- Temperature range: -40 °C ~ 60 °C (- 40 °F ~ 140 °F)
The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately like a gen-eral thermometer to prevent the driver from being inattentive. To change the temperature unit (from °F to °C or from °C to °F) The temperature unit can be changed by using the “User Settings” mode of the LCD Display. For more details, refer to “LCD display” on page 4-76.
Fuel economy (for Type B)
The instant fuel economy (1) and aver-age fuel economy (2) is displayed at the bottom of the cluster. Automatic reset To automatically reset the average fuel economy, select ‘Setup → Vehicle → Cluster → Fuel Economy Auto Reset’ from the Settings menu in the infotain-ment system screen.
