Kia UVO eServices and Essentials

These intuitive features allow for seamless integration of your onboard touchscreen driver display and your smartphone. With the Kia UVO app, you’ll even earn fun awards and badges for driving safely and taking care of car maintenance.

Kia UVO Voice Commands

Kia UVO was designed to understand voice commands. Here are just some of the most useful voice command Boulder City drivers will appreciate:

• “SIRIUS” – Plays the most recent SIRIUS XM Radio channel. 
• “Radio” – Plays the last radio station that you were listening to. Say the desired frequency too, and you’ll go directly to a new station.
• “What’s Playing?” – With HD Radio enabled vehicles, UVO will provide you information on the artist and song.
• “Play Bluetooth” – Plays music from whichever device is connected to your Kia Bluetooth.
• “Call (Name)” – Uses hands-free dialing to call the person you just named.
• “SMS” – If you receive a text message on a Bluetooth-enabled and connected device, use this voice command to have it read aloud to you.

Kia UVO Eco and Kia UVO Luxe

If you own a hybrid or electric Kia vehicle around Pahrump, your vehicle probably has Kia UVO Eco or Kia UVO Luxe. Eco allows you to be more efficient about recharging, and to set a re-charging schedule that works for you! With Luxe, you get features such as Kia UVO remote start, along with access to the prestige club.
