No one knows what this feature is? It shows as standard on all trim levels. I hope it’s not just the fact that the controls have a red backlighting.

What is this?The mood lamps offer a distinctive and progressive feel to the interior by casting a subtle but dramatic red tint.
You want mood lighting? Factory installed on the Kia Soul. Lots of third party options though.I'm really wondering what this is. Dealership had no idea, can't find it in the manual. Nobody has a real answer?
@Johnxyz, would it be possible to get a picture of that.! i have the same model and probably that i never realized that i have it too! And for the Barry Thing, .!! "♫ ohh darling i, can't get enough...♪ "This is a guess not a definitive answer.
On our 2019 PHEV Niro in the evening when the lights are turned on in the Niro our gauges and instrument panel lighting has a red tint.
Could this possibly be what they are referring to?
5 stars to Roadkill401 on the Barry White reference from someone who is old enough to know who he is referring to.
lafe005 here is a picture of my backlighting in the 20019 Niro PHEV in the attached file@Johnxyz, would it be possible to get a picture of that.! i have the same model and probably that i never realized that i have it too! And for the Barry Thing, .!! "♫ ohh darling i, can't get enough...♪ "![]()
I know what it is and how it is used, but the Niro HEV/PHEV doesn't have it. There are many errors in the manual from boilerplate language that doesn't apply to our model to features that they may have been considered in some markets, or that may actually be available in some markets.
Wow. Talk about overselling a standard feature. All cars have lit controls when it’s dark.Asked Kia on Facebook. It's literally just the red glow on the buttons/switches/ports when the headlights are on. Would be cooler if the screens also had a red theme, otherwise it's just the color that the buttons are vs mood lighting.
Yeah, that's just standard control backlighting. Sheesh!Asked Kia on Facebook. It's literally just the red glow on the buttons/switches/ports when the headlights are on. Would be cooler if the screens also had a red theme, otherwise it's just the color that the buttons are vs mood lighting.
