Dude, can you just do a video single explaining what all the buttons are - I got buttons I don't even know what half of them do and none of them are in your videos
I'm going to be doing the walkthrough videos of the Sportage soon. That will include all safety features in the background and each button! Keep an eye out! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
When I turn my car on it starts in eco mode. How do I make it start up in smart mode so I don’t have to change it every time? I have a US hybrid Sportage.
Hmm.. by default if you turn the car off in SMART mode, it should stay in that mode. It's possible that the default for the Hybrid could be ECO. I'll have to see next time we get one here! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Bobby, it makes the adjustments for you between ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT mode based on how your driving! The recommended mode to be in! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Hi, I have a 23 EX (US model.) My manual says I should be able to select ECO mode manually, but when I use the mode switcher I only get Normal/Sport/Smart. Do I need to enable it or something?
Here in Canada, you cannot put the Drive Mode into a dedicated ECO Mode. ECO is only available while in the Smart Drive Mode. I have not seen any ECO mode other than in the HEV or PHEV. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Hi there, I can't seem to change my drive mode. It is stuck on eco mode and when I turn the knob to select the other modes i.e sport mode, nothing happens. It doesn't even highlight on the other modes or give me the option to change. What can i do to fix this? Thanks.
Hmm, we don't even have a dedicated ECO mode here. This sounds like you may need to take it to your local dealer so they can do a reset on it, or something like that. Sorry! Thanks for watching though! - Andrew
I have a 2023 Sportage sx prestige, and no matter which mode I'm in there is a huge dead spot in the throttle. Push it pretty good and it will go up slow then around 2800 rpm it's like it has a turbo and just kicks in pretty hard. Just wondering if there all like that? I'm going to get it checked regardless.
From personal experience driving, it seems like they all may be like that. It's either going at a steady pace or kicking in hard, no in between. I've adjusted driving habits because of it, haha. - Andrew
Not that I have seen unfortunately. Very few of our vehicles have the custom option, it seems to be more for the performance ones. I wish they would bring that to all of the other models! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Hmm, that's odd that it won't stay in Smart.. Every mode I've used, it will remember the next time you start the car (except the Sport mode). Might have to inquire with your local Kia. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Best option would be to use the SMART mode, because it's the only one that can go into the ECO mode. This will also depend on your driving too. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Always clear and concise, I love these knowledgeable “how to” clips! 👍🏻👌🙏
Thank you so much for watching! Keep looking out for new ones! - Andrew

What does Smart mode do?

Is there any way to make a custom mode? Like if I prefer the eco engine tune with sport steering.

@@CardinalKia Is there a way to have my 2023 EX Hybrid default to Smart mode instead of changing it every time I get in?

@@chantalebarsalou1255 I have the same issue. Always goes back to eco
What mode should the drive mode be to save gas?

to drive in the snow?
That you can do with the Terrain Mode! Video here: ua-cam.com/video/epBdsEuzIso/v-deo.html Thanks for watching! - Andrew
