HYBRID HV BATTERY SOC GAUGE
This Pitstop provides information regarding the State of Charge (SOC) gauge on all Kia Hybrid
(P/HEV) vehicles. Normal operation of the HEV SOC gauge is between 40-60%, depicted by
red marks in photos. This is to allow for regeneration and degeneration of the HEV battery.
Main examples outside the normal SOC gauge operation:
 A lower than normal SOC gauge displayed can be caused by extended driving on uphill
grades.
 A higher than normal SOC gauge displayed can be caused by extended driving on
downhill grades.
