P.S: The “accumulated trip info” and “since refuelling” don’t get reset, but the “drive info” gets reset every time the engine is switched off.

Hi there.. I drive an X-Line and what i understand is that generally in other cars there are 2 trip meters namely Trip A & Trip B which we can reset accordingly as per our needs.

What KIA has done is instead of simply naming A & B, they have named one as 'accumulated trip info' and it can be resetted too from MID buttons on steering wheel. And they have named second trip meter as 'since refuelling' and added functionality of auto reset after refuelling(min 6 ltrs of fuel for auto reset), this can be also be made to manually reset as per your needs instead of auto reset after every fuel stop and for that configuration can be done from settings in the main touchscreen unit.

Additionally they have given a third trip meter named 'drive info' which gets reset every time we restart the car manually.

All the three trips show 1) the distance covered 2) the time taken and 3) the fuel efficiency.

Hope i'm able to explain my understanding of the system correctly.

Thanks for your time. I wasn't aware that one can manually reset "Accumulated trip info". It makes sense to use that to get the info on long drives.

I wish I could retain the overall trip info with fuel economy, but we can't have them all I suppose

For those who haven't discovered or used this feature yet, this could be quite useful. I'm sharing this information here for that reason. Kia Seltos owners now have the capability to independently update their navigation maps. All you need is a 32 GB USB pen drive. Head to the website to access the navigation uploader tool, compatible with Windows and Mac. Currently, this feature caters to Carens, EV6, and Seltos 2023 models. After downloading using the navigation updater app, transfer it to the pen drive, then take it to your vehicle for the update process. Access the 'General' settings screen, choose 'Version Info/Update,' and proceed by hitting the 'Update' button.

The instruction manual says OTA is indeed a thing - however just like our phones have their own schedules to check for updates, I think the infotainment system too has one, and perhaps not enough time has passed since the 2 Jan update for the system to pick it up automatically.

I did download and install via USB on 3rd Jan itself, so I guess I'd need to wait for a new update to be available before I can see OTA in action.

Your understanding matches the infotainment system manual (and mine too), so

I have a GTX+, and the behaviour I'm seeing is that despite configuring the 'Since Refueling' option to manual reset via the infotainment cluster settings, it still 'automatically resets' after refueling (or in my case rather randomly, since I have to park on slight incline and the system sometimes gets confused with the changes in fuel level due to fuel sloshing).

Anyone else seeing the behaviour where turning off automatic reset of 'Since Refueling' trip still resets the trip meter? Not sure if it a bug, and whether the 2nd Jan firmware update resolves this.

(also, fwiw, not only 'accumulated info' trip meter, any/all drive info screens can be manually reset anytime by long press of OK button on the steering wheel.)

Hi All,

I recently bought Seltos DCT GTX+, i have couple of questions:

1. Is it recommended to have anti rust under body coating in the car, I am asking this because there are multiple sensors in the car, fearing those sensor capabilities may be affected.
Any recommendations for anti rust underbody and paint protection shop in Gurgaon.
2. If we keep Front collision assist ON, if the front vehicle slows down, then does it apply the brakes to slow the vehicle, or it will apply brakes only when front vehicle is suddenly stopped?

Thanks in Advance.

FCA doesn't slow down the car (that's the job of automatic cruise control). If the car in front of you has slowed down, FCA will first alert you. If you still don't slow down, FCA will apply the brakes (that would be a sudden stop).

However, FCA brakes will be applied only if you adhere to the specified speed limit (pls check the manual for the speed limit).

I got the navigation update pushed OTA last night right when I was switching off the engine. At least I vaguely recall it being called a Navigation update. However, I got the following notification on the Kia app shortly after saying the infotainment system update was completed.

The only change I found was the voice repeatedly stating "Children crossing ahead" on my drive to work today. None were visible so maybe Seltos' camera systems sees more than the naked eye can. Or thinks Bengaluru bikers are children, which I tend to agree with. Didn't get down to turning that warning off, but I reckon I'd have to before my commute back home.

Congratulations, please post some pics.

I got mine done from the workshop during the first service. Even though Gurgaon does not get that much rainfall, I still prefer to keep Anti Rust coating done.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Need to raise a petition I guess

It does seem that the accumulated info can be reset and can get you the functionality that you're looking for, but then what we'll be missing is a mid calculated accumulated fuel efficiency figure which isn't that big a deal, but still an omission

seems like it, and reading through the manual, I agree

where did you find the option to turn off automatic reset? I haven't come across it yet, and the manual too doesn't list anything about it


I can toggle between 4 screens on the trip info screen as below


The 1st which says "Current trip"


The 2nd one says "Since refuelling" (which when I look at it now, is a spelling mistake!)


The 3rd says "Since last reset"


The 4th is a display of the total time for which "Auto Stop" has been engaged

I'm assuming the 3rd is the one everyone here is referring to as the accumulated info, because even the manual has listed the 3rd screen as accumulated info



I'm sort of losing my mind over why that would be different on my car!

Refuelling and Refueling both are correct. Former is British english and the latter is American english.

Ah well, that's the (in)famous "School Zone" setting - nothing to do with computer vision/detection, and everything to do with what mapmyindia believes a School Zone is (not very accurate in my experience for NCR - speed bump warning is surprisingly far more accurate)

Once you turn that off (likely Nav update enabled it), you'd be all set

(aside, if you do care to be informed about approaching schools, you can also choose to flip it off only for night time)

See instructions here, or search for Reset Fuel when on the infotainment settings view.

Subject: Need Advice on Stock JK Royale Tyres vs. Upgrading to Continental UC6 (or any other) for City Driving

Hello Team BHP community,

I'm excitedly awaiting the delivery of my new KIA Seltos HTX IVT, and I've noticed that it comes fitted with JK Royale tyres. As I'll be using the car primarily for city driving (100% mostly in South Mumbai), I wanted to seek your valuable opinions on whether I should stick with the stock JK Royale tyres or consider upgrading to Continental UC6 (or any other).

I've read some discussions on the forum where members have recommended the Continental UC6 tyres, but I wanted to gather more insights specific to city driving. How has your experience been with the JK Royale tyres in urban conditions? Have any of you made the switch to Continental UC6, and if so, did you notice a significant difference in terms of ride comfort, handling, or any other aspects relevant to city driving?

Your input will be immensely helpful in making an informed decision. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and recommendations!

I also have a Seltos Xline facelift, and I have upgraded my tyres to Conti UC6 in the stock size (mine are 18inch). In your car the tyres will be 17inch and in the stock size you get Conti cross contact tyres. You can get them easily at local stores in Mumbai. This link shows the tyre type:

https://tyresnmore.com/all-continent...BoCBpAQAvD_BwE

I would 100% recommend the change from day 1 as the noise level of the JK tyres is high and Contis are at least 30% less noisy. The ride comfort is also better with the Contis.

Also be sure to change the tyres within the first 100kms , then only you will get the best exchange value for the current tyres.
In my case the cost of new Contis was 11,500 and exchange value of Jk tyres was 4000 so I had to pay net 30k to get all the 4 tyres changed.

Guys my HTX doesnt has Accumulated trip info. I can only see Last Reset, Since Refeuling and Current Trip. How do I enable it, if its there?
