Changing your thermometer from C to F or visa versa

I had a customer come in today who needed help changing his thermometer on the instrument panel from C to F.  He had no idea why it changed.  (He was messing around with is reset button and it will be clear when I explain).

It's a simple procedure.  If you want to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit or visa versa,  scroll your menu to the RANGE reading (distance to empty) and then hold the reset button for 5 or 6 seconds.  The temperature reading will change. That's all there is to it.  Useful for all those road trips to Canada or Mexico! :-)

Using your HOMELINK system (Video)

If you look at your rear view mirror, you might see a series of buttons. If you see this, you have HOMELINK in your Kia. This allows you to program gates and garage doors to your mirror rather than having them hanging on your sun visor, freeing them up for other cars.  Rather than trying to explain all the ways to program your HOMELINK, I am going to just let Homelink explain in their training video.

Advanced Smart Cruise Control

Once, a thing for Ultra High End cars, Kia now offers Advanced Smart Cruise control.  Kia has allowed me to use some of their video presentations to go into depth about certain features.  Smart Cruise Control is one.  It allows you to 'pace' the car in front of you, and adjusts your speed according to the speed of the car in front of you.  Take a minute and check out the video

Help! My 2017 Sportage gas door won't open!!

Thanks for the question.  Eventually, this person figured it out.  

To open the 2017 Kia Sportage gas cap door, you press it and it will spring open.  HOWEVER, when the car is locked, so is the gas door.  You must first unlock all the doors on the vehicle (two presses of the remote or use the door unlock switch on the driver's door.  

Remember, all the kia engines run fine on regular unleaded.  If you have a turbo, mid grade is a good idea.  The K900 runs best on 91 octane, and that is recommended. 

Have a GREAT Kia Day!
