Kia EV6 2022-2026 Owner's Manual: A/C system operation tips

If your Kia EV6 has been parked under direct sunlight during extremely hot weather, slightly open the windows for a short period before driving to release trapped hot air from the cabin more quickly. During rainy or humid weather conditions, operating the Kia EV6 air conditioning system helps reduce moisture buildup inside the cabin and minimizes windshield fogging.

Kia EV6 2022-2026 Owner's Manual: Brake disc cleaning

If surface rust develops on the brake discs or brake squeal becomes noticeable, the Kia EV6 includes a BDC (Brake Disc Cleaning) function designed to help reduce noise and remove rust buildup from the brake components. While the BDC function is active, regenerative braking is temporarily disabled and overall energy efficiency may decrease slightly.
