Kia Stonic Hybrid Not Working – Is This Normal?

HALLO…
I’ve got a Kia Stonic as a rental for a couple of weeks, and it’s a mild hybrid, but I’m not seeing any signs that the hybrid system is doing anything. I know it’s not supposed to go full EV mode, but even in ECO mode, there’s nothing on the dash showing battery charge or anything like that. :grinning:
I switched the dash to show ‘energy flow,’ but it just shows a static image and doesn’t change, even when I brake. Is this normal for a mild hybrid, or should I be looking for something else? Could the hybrid system be turned off to save the battery, maybe for resale?

Issues pertaining to the engine or gearbox may potentially impact the efficiency of the hybrid system. :innocent:
