Voice Recognition1 and Bluetooth®2
Using Voice Recognition
Improve Bluetooth® Voice Recognition (VR) performance
by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or single-
syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad,” “Smith Residence”
vs. “Home”).
• Avoid using special characters, emojis, and hyphenated
names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.).
• Avoid using acronyms (“Emergency” vs. “ICE” or “In
Case of Emergency”) or words with all capital letters.
• Spell words completely; system will not recognize
abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”).
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands.
• When using VR to place a call, speak in a natural, moderate
tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble
recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly.
• Open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an A/C fan
operating at higher speeds can interfere with VR accuracy.
• Your VR system may have difficulty understanding some
accents or uncommon names.
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available
commands.
Pairing or Connecting Your Phone with Bluetooth®
• Select “Device Connections” in the infotainment display
or “Call” button on the steering wheel to begin the pairing
process if no phone has previously been paired.
• During the pairing process, please make sure you accept
all requests for phonebook download and future auto-
connection on your phone.
• To pair a second phone or subsequent phones, reference
the manuals and guides supplied with your Kia EV6 as steps
vary by infotainment system.
• If you experience any issues with auto-connection,
try the following:
• Reboot your phone (turn the phone off and then on).
• Update the phone operating system to the most recently
released version.
• Delete the phone from the list of Bluetooth® devices
on the infotainment system display1 and delete Kia
Connect from the list of Bluetooth® devices on your
phone, and re-pair.
• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth® feature activated.
• If some contacts are not downloading to the infotainment
system display, check to confirm that the contact has
been entered correctly and that it has been stored under
the categories (HOME, MOBILE, WORK, iPhone®3) that are
supported by the infotainment system display. Some contact
categories (MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not be supported. If
the number of contacts exceeds the maximum number allowed
on the infotainment system display, contacts will be partially
downloaded. Ensure that only the “phone contact list” is
selected for contact download on your phone (not social media
or email contact lists as these contacts may not download to
the infotainment system display).
• Phone operating systems change frequently and some phones
may have varying compatibility levels with the Bluetooth®
system. For any questions regarding the features of your
vehicle, please contact your preferred Kia dealer or contact
Kia Consumer Assistance at 1-800-333-4542.
Other Bluetooth® Tips
• Bluetooth® reception is affected by carrier coverage and is
dependent on the phone.
• If streaming audio through Bluetooth® from a device, ensure
the listening volume on the device is turned up.

• The quickest way to obtain an accurate vehicle status is by pressing the refresh icon on your app or customer
web portal.
• Activate Remote Start or Remote Start with Climate Control feature a few minutes before you plan to get into the
vehicle. This will allow vehicle interior to reach a desired temperature.
• In order to preserve vehicle battery, Kia Connect will not work seven days after the ignition was last turned on.
You will need to re-start your vehicle with a key fob in order to use Kia Connect again.

Scheduled Charging
Charging times can be set through the Infotainment System Vehicle Settings. Select EV, then
CHARGING AND CLIMATE. You can also use the Scheduled Charging* feature on the Kia Access App.
The Kia Access App can help you find the nearest charging station, and also displays charging
status and Scheduled Charging information. On your smartphone, go to an app store or
marketplace to download the Kia Access App.
Reminder: When Scheduled Charging is set and the charger is plugged in, charging of the electric
vehicle will not begin until the time and date set.
Deactivate Scheduled Charging
— Depress the Charging button A to temporarily disable the
scheduled charging feature when immediate charging is required.
Charging Connector Auto/Lock Mode
The charging connector can be set to be locked or unlocked while in the charging inlet and

Note: The Emergency Release Lever is located on right side panel inside the liftgate.
Charging Your Electric Vehicle7
Level 2 Charging — “Normal” Charge (AC)
A Level 2 or “normal” 240-volt/50-amp charger is the recommended charging system for your EV. This type of charger uses
240 volts of electricity and takes approximately 8.5 hours for a full charge. This charger may be able to be installed at your home
by a qualified electrician or can be found at a public charging station.
Reminder: The shape of the charger and how to use the charger may be different for each manufacturer. Please see section 1 in the
Owner’s Manual for more information.
Level 3 Charging — “Quick” Charge (DC)
A Level 3 or “quick” DC fast charger is usually found at public charging stations. This type of DC charge may charge an EV in as little
as 60 minutes to about an 80% charge. An ultra–fast DC charger charge time from 10-80% on a 350kW charger is approximately
18 minutes.
Reminder: Kia does not recommend primarily charging with a DC charger because it can reduce the lifespan of the battery.
Regenerative Braking with Paddle Switches
The regenerative braking system charges the battery when coasting or when you use the brakes
to stop the vehicle. Use the paddle switches to adjust the regenerative braking level from 0 to 3
during decelerating or braking. The level will be displayed on the instrument cluster A.
• Pull the left paddle switch B to increase regenerative braking and deceleration.
• Pull the right paddle switch C to decrease regenerative braking and deceleration.
The paddle switches do not operate when:
• Both paddle switches are pulled at the same time.
• The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal.
• Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is active.
i-Pedal
i-Pedal driving controls the vehicle speed by the accelerator pedal, both acceleration and
deceleration. To activate i-Pedal:
• Pull the left side paddle switch B to Level 3 regenerative braking (see indicator on instrument
cluster).
• Then pull the left side paddle switch B once again when the regenerative braking level is set
to Level 3.
The i-Pedal indicator symbol will be illuminated on the instrument cluster.
One-Pedal Driving
One-Pedal Driving increases the regenerative braking amount to above Level 3 and may slow the
vehicle down by pulling the left paddle switch.
• Pull and hold the left paddle switch B while coasting to activate One-Pedal Driving.
• When the vehicle speed is above 2 mph, release the left paddle switch B for less than 0.5
seconds to return to the previously set level of regenerative braking.
• When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph, One-Pedal Driving can stop the vehicle even though
the left paddle switch is released.
Reminder: The driver’s seat belt must be fastened to operate One-Pedal Driving.
Do not solely rely on One-Pedal Driving to stop the vehicle, as it may not be able to stop the
vehicle depending on vehicle and road conditions. Always use pedal braking when necessary
and pay attention to the road conditions ahead and apply the brake if necessary.
Smart Regeneration System
This system automatically adjusts the regenerative braking level based on a vehicle being
detected in front and road conditions.
• Activate Smart Regeneration in the Vehicle Settings on the Infotainment System by pressing
SETUP on the screen, VEHICLE and ECO VEHICLE, and then SMART REGENERATION. AUTO D
will be displayed on the instrument cluster. AUTO regenerative brake adjusts regenerative
braking based on the distance from the vehicle in front and its speed.
Pull and hold the right paddle switch C for more than one second to turn on/off the automatic
change of the regenerative braking. The minimum regenerative braking level can be adjusted
when in AUTO mode by using the left and right paddle switches.
Matte Paint* Care
To enjoy your vehicle’s matte appearance for many years to come, please follow these owner care and maintenance tips.
Do’s and Don’ts
• Do not use wax, detail spray, or any products made for
normal paint. Use only products specifically developed for
matte finish paint.
• Do not use products that are even mildly abrasive, such as
polishes, glazes, or rubbing compounds.
• Do not use terry cloth, cloth, or paper towels. Do not rub the
finish vigorously, this will burnish the paint finish, causing a
permanent shiny spot. Shiny spots cannot be removed.
• Do not use commercial car wash facilities or their shine
enhancement products. Most car wash brushes, large
mechanized “towels,” and shine enhancement products can
damage matte paint.
• Do not use mechanical cleaners or polishers.
• Remove foreign substances such as insect remains, tar,
and road debris using a soft applicator and a mild solvent;
saturate and soak the area before cleaning—rub lightly.
• Hand-wash with a soft wash mitt and mild cleaning product
safe for matte paint.
• Use microfiber cleaning cloths with an alcohol-based window
cleaner for basic surface clean-up.

adjusting to the current speed limits of the highway the vehicle is traveling on.
If equipped, Highway Lane Change Assist may assist in changing lanes, if it detects the driver
has turned on the lane change signal and if the lane change is possible.
When HDA is activated and the conditions are met, the instrument cluster indicator A will illuminate
green. If proper conditions are not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the HDA indicator light B
will illuminate gray. When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, the instrument cluster will
show the lanes illuminated white and the HDA indicator illuminated green A.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met, and the SCC speed is set by the driver (at the posted
highway speed limit or slower), HDA will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed
and AUTO will be displayed B in green and an audible alert will sound.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• The vehicle is traveling slower than 110 mph or the highway speed limit.
• When driving on limited/controlled access highways/freeways.
• When Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) are on and operating.
• When the SCC speed is set to the current posted highway speed or slower.

To turn on NSCC, go to the Vehicle Settings in the infotainment system, select Driver Assistance,
Driving Convenience, and Highway Auto Speed Change. When SCC is on and operating, the
vehicle is driving on limited/controlled access highways and NSCC is turned on, then NSCC is
enabled and the AUTO icon A will illuminate white on the instrument cluster.
When NSCC detects a curve ahead, and NSCC activates and reduces the vehicle speed, the
AUTO icon A will turn green. When the vehicle passes the curved road, the vehicle may return
to its previously set SCC speed.
Autoset (Automatic change of set speed): If the set speed is set to the current speed limit on the
highway during NSCC operation, the set speed is changed automatically whenever the speed
limit changes.
Reminders:
• NSCC requires an active navigation subscription.
• NSCC is only available on controlled access roads and highways.
