I have had the new Kia Sportage PHEV since last week. In the settings of the Navi I was able to activate the radar control warning under warnings (see photo), with settings warning time, distance. It also worked two days. After two days the wheel alarm disappeared without having changed anything. I then set the system to factory settings and re-enter it. See since the radar alarm could be activated again. Two days later everything went away. Is there any way that anyone can explain it?

Hello! I recently bought 120 HP-Stonic as daily registration (EZ 14.04.2024) brand new with 6 km and got on 30.04.2024. Since then I have driven more than 1000 km (2x longer highway routes with just so 100-120 km, city and overland) and I have not yet managed to sail once, it is only recuperated. Had from yesterday to today the car overnight at the dealer and the batteries were charged as well as it went, but it still does not work. Had previously also sc hon other dealers and Kia themselves contacted by phone, but no one could tell me what that was due to (Kia themselves were people on the phone who had never heard of the sailing mode and were not cooperative). =O Is it possible that the sailing mode only works after some time and by frequent recuperation or is there a defect? Have tried in eco mode and without cruise and limit, at all possible speeds and as soon as I go off the gas always the enginebr It’s only at about 30km you can feel a mini-buckler and have the feeling of the engine goes off and you roll there (then seems to be the so-called roll-out function). How is/was that with you? Did the sailing work immediately at the beginning or did it take a while until the time worked out? my dealer thinks we have to watch this and he stays on the topic, but I’m actually a little impatient already, since I am not in any test gel It had that it doesn’t work from the beginning. Write here your experiences with the Mild-Hybrid motors (whether hand switch or automatic). How would you proceed? Thank you in advance!

Hello together; I bought a new Kia Sportage. At an online dealer, where I could look at the vehicle myself and also picked it up. There were assured among other things lane keeping assistant, traffic sign recognition, speed limiter (tempomat is available), automatic driving light. Seller – is unfortunately 150 away – says, what is guaranteed according to purchase contract, would also be available. I had a Kia Niro before, so all these assistance systems are known to me. All attempts, I’m going to my Kia workshop next week and I’m trying to figure out what really exists in the car. Does anyone have any experience with it: Is it possible that these systems – why are “only” switched off (somewhere in a service menu)? I’m just annoyed and don’t want to wait until I get confirmation from Kia. It’s a re-import vehicle from Hungary. But with 5 kilometers. D I know all about it. I’m annoyed that the promised properties are not available and I hope somehow that the Kia workshop will tell me: “everything is only disabled – we can activate it”. What the seller would have to do in some way. Concrete question: can it be that by activating these systems could work? Much in today’s cars is software-controlled. In relation to it – it may be that due to the service life (the vehicle has been at home since September) or are there any sensors that simply have to be present and without which all this doesn’t work? That’s what I’m assuming. Camera in the windscreen seems to be present. But don’t really see them. My wife’s Rio has a well-visible camera at the top of the windscreen. My sportage “only” a black box, where the camera should be. I assume that the camera has the basic equipment. is to “activate” all this. Dealer says everything has been tested and worked 🙂 – who believes it ….. Thanks already and greetings from Bayern Hubert

Hello and moin together, I’m new here in the forum. 10 months ago I bought a new Kia Sportage NQ5 – petrol 180 HP Mild Hybrid -. I love the car and reached the 15,000 km already in 10 months. With 4 weeks advance I signed up with a Kia partner for the 1st inspection and then pulled it through. When I then held the bill in my hands, I had to swallow first, it cost me 379,12€. Primarily the oil is changed and a small pass. What do you think? Best regards Karsten PS: The free car rental and the car wash were added because they didn’t have all the spare parts in stock despite the appointment and I had to come by again the following day…

I would be interested to know how your experience with the 7-year guarantee is. I have heard, for example, that kia has been embarrassingly careful not to exceed the inspection intervals (I mean now not 5000 km, but maybe 500 km or so.) Is that true, that the guarantee is forfeited, for example, if you drive with 30,500 km to the first inspection, although you should have been there already at 30,000 km?. Of course, the manufacturer is certainly the rules, but would that mean, that for example after 2years (i.e. 30,500km = 500km too much, the remaining 5year guarantee has expired)

Hello! I’ve had a KIA Sportage GT Line NQ5 for a month now. In my sportage, the front seat heating takes quite a long time both on the driver’s and the passenger’s side. But for my feeling it only heats in the thoracic vertebra area (upper back) and in the lower leg area. At the seat and in the lumbar vertebra area (cross), where it would be most important for me, it remains almost cold in my opinion. I was also at the KIA dealer today. I mean, if it basically works, you can’t do anything. I meant that it just doesn’t work for my feelings in some areas. You could only ask KIA if you can do something there. He wasn’t willing to feel the differences with his hand, and only meant that feelings can be different from one person to another. I just find this behavior a cheeky one. What are your experiences with the seat heater? The seats also have a seat ventilation. Can it have something to do with it? Thank you for your answers. Greetings Claus
