Starting the vehicle

1. Carry the Kia EV6 smart key or a registered Digital Key 2 device and sit in the driver’s seat.

2. Fasten your seat belt properly before starting the Kia EV6.

3. Apply the parking brake securely.

4. Check the accelerator pedal, brake pedal position, and surrounding foot clearance with your right foot.

5. Press and hold the brake pedal firmly.

6. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the Kia EV6 to P (Park).

7. Continue pressing the brake pedal and press the EV button to power on the vehicle.

8. When the READY indicator illuminates, the Kia EV6 is ready to drive. If the READY indicator remains off, the vehicle cannot be driven and should be restarted.

9. Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift the Kia EV6 into the desired driving gear position.

10. Release the parking brake and slowly release the brake pedal. Confirm that the Kia EV6 begins moving gradually, then gently apply the accelerator pedal.

NOTE

Stopping the vehicle

1. Park the Kia EV6 safely and press and hold the brake pedal.

2. Shift the vehicle into P (Park).

3. Apply the parking brake fully.

4. Press the EV button to switch the Kia EV6 OFF.

5. Confirm that the READY indicator is OFF and that the parking brake symbol appears on the instrument cluster. If the READY indicator remains ON while the vehicle is not in P (Park), unintended vehicle movement may occur if the accelerator pedal is pressed accidentally.

Distance to empty

Impact on distance to empty

The Kia EV6 displays the estimated distance to empty differently depending on the drive mode selected through the integrated drive mode control system.

For additional information regarding estimated driving range behavior, refer to the details below.

• The Kia EV6 driving range is influenced by driving habits, electrical load usage, environmental conditions, and the current high-voltage battery charge level. Because of these variables, the displayed distance to empty may be higher or lower than the officially certified driving range.

• Driving style includes overall driving speed, acceleration patterns, and braking behavior. Higher driving speeds and frequent acceleration or deceleration reduce the available driving range of the Kia EV6 more rapidly.

• Electrical load usage includes systems such as climate control, cabin heating, exterior lighting, seat heaters, infotainment functions, and additional auxiliary electrical equipment. Increased electrical usage decreases the distance to empty.

• Environmental conditions include outside temperature, weather, terrain, and road conditions. Snow, rain, strong winds, low temperatures, uphill driving, slippery roads, and rough surfaces can all reduce the Kia EV6 driving range.

• The amount of usable high-voltage battery energy is related to SOC (State of Charge), but actual available range may also vary according to battery temperature, SOH (State of Health), battery age, and operating conditions.
