2013 KIA Optima Hybrid check engine

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.
