Kia Niro: Starting the hybrid vehicle (Smart key) / ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERATION of Hybrid system
- Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate and maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't make "jackrabbit" starts. Don't race between stoplights. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
- The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle decelerates.
- When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatically recharges the hybrid battery.
- When the engine runs in "N" position, the hybrid system cannot generate electricity. The hybrid battery cannot recharge in "N" position. Please refer to chapter 6.
✽ NOTICE
When the hybrid system is in READY mode, the engine will automatically start and stop as needed. The "READY" symbol will illuminate in the cluster when the system is operational.
