whether the current driving condition is
economical or not. The fuel efficiency is

red zone.
- Green zone : Good driving condition

Active ECO
Your vehicle is equipped with a highly
efficient power train based on Kia’s
Active ECO technology. Active ECO
mode is for normal, everyday driving for
smooth efficient operation. Each time you
start the vehicle, Active ECO is activated
automatically. If needed, the driver can
temporarily switch Active ECO ON/OFF
using the steering wheel mounted but-
ton.
• Active ECO OFF is intended for brief
periods of unusual driving, such as
steep roads or heavy loads.
• Active ECO ON is meant for normal
vehicle driving and provides maximum
fuel efficiency.
Switch back to Active ECO ON as soon
as possible for maximum fuel efficiency
and to restore the Active ECO center dis-
play. Your vehicle will automatically
resume Active ECO each time it is
restarted.
