To connect your smartphone, enable Bluetooth on your device, go to the infotainment system's settings, select 'Bluetooth', and search for available devices. Choose your phone from the list and confirm the pairing code on both devices.
Check if the key fob battery is functioning. Ensure the car is in 'Park', and press the brake pedal while pushing the start button. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact a Kia service center.
It's recommended to follow the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual, typically every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Regular maintenance includes oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections.
The Kia Niro HEV 2023 is designed to operate on regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87.
To replace a flat tire, locate the spare tire and jack in the trunk. Use the lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts, lift the car with the jack, remove the flat tire, and install the spare. Tighten the lug nuts and lower the vehicle. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions.
Fuel efficiency can be affected by driving habits, tire pressure, and load weight. Ensure tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, reduce excess weight, and consider adopting smoother driving techniques.
Regenerative braking is automatically engaged when you release the accelerator pedal. It helps recharge the battery by converting kinetic energy into electrical energy. You can adjust the level of regenerative braking using the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.
After inflating tires to the recommended pressure, drive the vehicle at a speed above 15 mph for about 10 minutes to allow the system to reset. If the TPMS light remains on, consult the owner's manual or a service technician.
Updates for the navigation system can be downloaded from the Kia website onto a USB drive. Insert the USB into the vehicle's USB port and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.
If the hybrid system warning light illuminates, safely pull over and turn off the engine. Restart the vehicle to see if the light persists. If it remains on, have your vehicle inspected by a Kia service center as soon as possible.
