Re: Economy??

Hi all. Any one who gets below 40mpg in UK, must have the settings wrong on the user options in distance units type. It is difficult to get below 50mpg even in winter (below freezing) unless you do a lot of short journeys, drive very aggressively and have heating on full all the time. Check your set...

Re: Knocking from engine bay

Hi Jeremy, saw your earlier post about this and assumed your first action would be to demonstrate this to dealer. From what you say you were unable to replicate the noise to the technician. Does the noise only occur when cold or at other times. You are correct in assuming it has not been asked about...

Re: Kia Nav turn directions

Hi MiniEggs. From my experience with hybrid the display Infront of driver only works when using the inbuilt sat nav !
It does not work with android or apple car play.
The direction symbol looks fairly typical to me in your photo.

Re: Hydraulic knocking from engine bay

Hi Rob Young. Sorry to hear of your woe. Presumably when your in electric mode noise stops? Does the noise change as engine warms up or alter at all or sound different if you increase revs in Park mode when stationery.

Re: Unable to charge and Check Hybrid System warning

Hi all I take on your views however, I cannot accept that competent drivers cannot reverse in a space, partly because it is better to drive out forwards than reverse out into potential dangers with restricted views. For me side or side rear charging port is better since it is less likely to be damag...

Re: Trip History

Hi jerrytaff . Can only speak about hybrid Niro. On these cars any journey taken about 3 to 4hours later than the previous one will always be counted as a separate journey. The hybrid Niro does not have the ability to store previous journey data so cannot comment on deletions in your history. h2onorth

Re: New to Kia

Hi fatharrywhite. Glad you are enjoying it. The accumulation of traffic film particularly in wet weather is a continual nuisance on this car, where the rear window and the rear view camera is quickly blurred even after a short journey. The answer for the camera is an automatic lens cover like on com...
