![]() When this provider’s arrival time came and went I cancelled again with Kia and put a charger on the car, at the fuse box under the hood. Next morning I called again just for a jump figuring I’d drive to the dealer. Of course Kia road service didn’t really cancel the call so they were calling me an hour later but that’s another issue. By this time their projected arrival would have been past my bedtime so I bagged it and canceled. When the assigned provider failed to show after 2-1/2 hours another was assigned. Called road service for a tow to the dealer. Stone cold dead the next day with the charging cable locked in place. Ok, I thought, it’s not working correctly but it is turned off and I checked the auxiliary battery charge setting so the traction battery should protect the 12 volt battery in any case so nothing to worry about, right? Wrong. Traction battery was fully charged by this time, not that I think that relevant. ![]() And then able to turn off the ignition exit and lock up the car. It wouldn’t turn with the car either on or off but I was able to turn it off with the ignition in the accessory position or should I say accessory mode. Also that the traction battery is supposed to charge the 12 volt battery. I did learn how the thing is supposed to turn off. Worst laid out and least informative owners manuals, there are at least 4 of them, I have ever read. That, of course, added to my frustration. Scratched my head and took the manuals inside to search for answers. I tried changing the screen saver settings without effect. The display was still on and I drove home without a problem and plugged in the car. ![]() The traction battery was down to a range of 11 miles and up to 19 when I came out. I was at a supermarket with a charging station so plugged in the cable and went to do my shopping. I tried various ways to turn it off, restarting the car, putting it in gear, then turning off again, pushing and holding the switch but nothing worked. I noticed that the display didn’t turn off when I turned off the car and opened the door. That’s what prompted me to join this forum in fact. Coincidentally, the same thing happened to me the day before yesterday.
