You can't do that. It seems it's a safety precaution to avoid leaving something unattended in that way.

Hey guys, I’m torn between the Niro Premium+ and Limited. The Limited’s got all the cool features like power folding mirrors, HDA2, digital key, HUD, heated rear seats, and air-cooled front seats. But my wife likes the Premium+ even better. Has anyone tried both trims? Which one’s worth it and...

We got our new dog yesterday and now I’m trying to figure out if I can lock the car but keep the AC on for him (like a dog mode, yknow?). I’m pretty sure it’s doable, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Will it still let me lock it with the remote if the AC’s on? Any idea?

Hey all, Just got a 2018 Kia Niro Hybrid. Tried to light up the control buttons, but it’s like they vanish into thin air at night! Any tips on how to make them visible? Also, is there a HUD hiding in the cluster panel, or am I just dreaming of a futuristic dashboard? TIA

My Kia Connect app is driving me absolutely bonkers! It just won't talk to my car unless it's already on or unlocked. That means no remote pre-heating or checking on the car remotely, which is a real pain, especially with the cold weather. It's always been a little unreliable, but it's gotten...

Could just be a normal quirk of the system, but if it’s happening more often or getting worse, it might be worth mentioning at your next service appointment. Some EVs have a slight brake release lag when coming out of auto hold, and software updates have helped smooth it out in other models.

I hear you on the UVO software, it can be frustrating. Yes, updating to Kia Connect will give you better functionality, but be aware that with the Hybrid, there’s not much you can do on it yet. It should come with regular updates, but it might not be as smooth as expected. Since you already have...

I just got a 2020 Kia Hybrid 2 with 18k miles, and I have the Kia warranty until Nov 2027. Should I get third-party coverage for the infotainment system, or is it reliable? One more thing, does anyone use third-party alloy wheel insurance? Any companies you'd recommend? Thanks.

Hey everyone, I just noticed that my Kia Niro (2021) coolant level (not the inverter one) is at the minimum line. I’ve been reading mixed advice, some say distilled water is fine for topping up, while others insist on using coolant only. If I use distilled water, could it cause any long-term...

Just snagged a used Kia Niro and I’ve set up my driver profile with my phone, but every time I fire up the car, it defaults to the guest profile. Super annoying, I have to switch it back to mine every darn time. Why even have a guest profile? Any clue why this happens? Also, I couldn’t find a...

Loving our new top-of-the-line Niro EV, but bummed to discover the built-in camera recording feature seems missing - it's advertised on the Hyundai Motor Group YouTube channel! Anyone else in Europe notice this gap? We figured the lane guidance and parking cameras would mean recording...

Did it really help?

Hello! I have been having an issue with Android Auto in my Nero EV. It keeps dropping the connection. Usually, I fix this by using different cables, resetting, unplugging, and plugging it back in. Sometimes it works, but then it drops again. Has anyone else experienced this problem or found a...

I’m looking at a 2021 EX Premium with 18,500 miles and a 2023 Wave with 41,000 miles, both eligible for the Used EV tax credit. I’ll use an OBD2 reader to check the battery's health and charge history, especially quick charges. Price isn’t a big factor, but I’m concerned about the shorter...

Loving the car so far, especially the V2L feature. Had a weird issue yesterday with the internal power socket though. Plugged in my laptop, got a red light and no power, with a message saying "V2L finished defined charge level reached." No clue what that meant! Searched everywhere for V2L...

So my Niro EV’s been throwing this "Check EV System" error after I juice it up to 100%. Pretty sure it’s got something to do with the 12V battery, but I’m not exactly a car whisperer here. I’ve kinda been dodging the problem by draining the battery, but now I’m freakin’ out that there might be...
