Malfunction indicator
The AVSM OFF indicator will illumi-
nate when the engine start/stop but-
ton is turned ON, but should go off
after approximately 3 seconds. If theindicator does not come on, or con-
tinuously remains on after coming
on for about 3 seconds when you
turn the engine start/stop button tothe ON position, or if the indicator
comes on while driving, the AVSM is
not working properly. We recom-
mend have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer. The AVSM OFF indicator may illu-
minate when the ESC indicator or
SCC indicator comes on, but itdoes not indicate malfunction of
the AVSM.

AVSM, when you depress the
brake pedal, the brake is oper-
ating normally. But, the AVSMbrake operating does not
operate even in certain haz-
ardous situations.

The vehicle engine and transmission

Conditions that limit Active ECO MODE:
Below are a list of conditions in which
when in ACTIVE ECO MODE, the
indicator light will not change, but the
internal system may operate differ-
ently.
When engine coolant temperature
is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is below the normal range, the
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable until the
transaxle oil heats up after vehicleignition.
When in an uphill gradient:
Since the ACTIVE ECO MODE
partially limits the engine torque,
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable when more
torque is essential for going uphill.
When using the manual transmis- sion operation mode:
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manual,
vehicle will reflect it and automati-
cally stop the ACTIVE ECO MODE.
