2013 KIA Optima Hybrid brake

H6Starting the Hybrid System
1. Carry the smart key into the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.
3. Place the shift lever in the P(Park) position.
In N (neutral) position, you can not
start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the engine start/stop button.
6. The engine should be started without pressing the accelerator. In extremely
cold weather or after the vehicle has
not been operated fro several days, let
the engine warm up without depress-
ing the accelerator.
• Even if the smart key is in the vehicle,if it is far away from you, the engine
may not start.
in the ACC or ON position, if any door
is open, the system checks for the
smart key. If the smart key is not in
the vehicle, the warning, "Key is not
in vehicle" will come on, and if all
doors are closed, the chime will also
sound for about 5 seconds. The indi-
cator will turn off while the vehicle is
moving. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when using the ACC position
or if the vehicle engine is on.
If the starting procedure is followed,
the "READY" symbol on the instru-
ment cluster will turn on. For more
details, Please check chapter 5.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA-
TION of Hybrid system
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod- erate rate and maintain a steady cruis-
ing speed. Don't make "jack-rabbit"
starts. Don't race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle decelerates.
When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatically
recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine runs in "N" position, the hybrid system cannot generate
electricity. The hybrid battery cannot
recharge in "N" position. Please refer
to chapter 5.

Service plug
This service plug (1) located in the rear
trunk as shown should always be pulled
out to disconnect and turn off the hybrid
system.
IMPORTANT: Wait 5 minutes after this
lever is disconnected to work on the
car. It is to be assured all remaining
charge in the system dissipated.
Some Special Features of the
Hybrid Vehicle.
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may hear a
sound from the hybrid battery system
behind the rear seat. If you apply the
accelerator pedal rapidly, you may hear a
sound. when you apply the brake pedal,
you may hear a sound from the regener-
ative brake system. When the hybrid sys-
tem is turned off or on, you may hear a
sound in the engine compartment. If you
depress the brake pedal repeatedly
when the hybrid system is turned on, you
may hear a sound in the engine com-
partment. None of these sounds indicate
a problem.
They are characteristics of hybrid vehi-
cles.
When the hybrid system is turned on, the
engine may run. This does not indicate a
malfunction. If the "READY" symbol is on,
the hybrid system is operating. Even if
the gasoline engine is off, you can oper-
ate the vehicle.The HEV system may emit electromag-
netic waves which can affect the per-
formance of electronic devices appli-
ances, such as laptop computers, which
are not part of the vehicle design.
If you park the vehicle for a long time, the
hybrid system will discharge. You need to
drive the vehicle several times per month
to maintain a charge.

If An Accident Occurs
Avoid the engine compartment.
Avoid any orange or high voltagewires, cables, or components.
Assume that a high voltage component is exposed and move away from the
vehicle as promptly as possible.
Refer to Chapter 6 for towing informa- tion or call Kia Roadside Assistance.
When the hybrid vehicle shuts off
When the high voltage battery or 12-volt
battery discharges, or fuel tank is empty,
the hybrid system may not operate.
If the Hybrid system stops operating
while the vehicle is moving, reduce the
vehicle speed gradually. Pull your vehi-
cle off the road in a safe area, and shift
the transmission in to Park (P) position
and;
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
2. Set the start button at OFF, and try tostart the Hybrid system by applying the
brake pedal and pushing the start but-
ton.
3. If the Hybrid system will not operate, refer to "EMERGENCY STARTING" in
chapter 6. Before you try to jump start the vehicle,
confirm the fuel level. If the fuel level is
low add more fuel before attempting as
emergancy start.
