2018 KIA STONIC start stop button

This shift pattern is imprinted on the
shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower
gear is easily accomplished.
Depress the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, then release it slowly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an igni‐
tion lock switch, the engine will not
start when starting the engine without depressing the clutch pedal. (if equip‐
ped)
The shift lever must be returned to the
neutral position before shifting into R (Reverse).
Push the button located immediately
below the shift knob and pull the gear‐
shift lever to the left sufficiently, and then shift into reverse (R) gear position.
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R (Re‐verse).
Never operate the engine with thetachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
CAUTION
•When downshifting from fifth gearto fourth gear, caution should betaken not to inadvertently pressthe shift lever sideways in such amanner that the second gear isengaged. Such a drastic downshiftmay cause the engine speed to in‐crease to the point that the tach‐ometer will enter the red-zone.Such over-revving of the engineand transaxle may possibly causeengine damage.
•Do not downshift more than 2gears or downshift the gear whenthe engine is running at high speed(5,000 RPM or higher). Such adownshifting may damage the en‐gine, clutch and the transaxle.
• During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant
is warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle. • If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Re‐
verse), leave the shift lever at N(Neu‐
tral) position and release the clutch.
Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1st or R(Reverse)
gear position.
CAUTION
•To avoid premature clutch wearand damage, do not drive withyour foot resting on the clutchpedal. Also, don’t use the clutch tohold the vehicle stopped on an up‐hill grade, while waiting for a traf‐fic light, etc.
•Do not use the shift lever as ahandrest during driving, as this canresult in premature wear of thetransaxle shift forks.
•To prevent possible damage to theclutch system, do not start withthe 2nd (second) gear engaged ex‐cept when you start on a slipperyroad.

Driving your vehicle

NOTICE
•When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light il‐
luminated).
•Turning the ESC off does not af‐
fect ABS or brake system opera‐
tion.
WARNING
Never press the ESC OFF buttonwhile ESC is operating.If the ESC is turned off while ESC isoperating, the vehicle may go out ofcontrol.To turn ESC off while driving, pressthe ESC OFF button while driving ona flat road surface.
Hill-start assist control (HAC) (if
equipped)
Hill start Assist Control is a comfort
function. The main intend is to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards
while driving off uphill on an inclined
surface. HAC holds the braking pressure
builtup by driver during stopping proce‐ dure for 2 seconds after releasing
brake pedal.
During the pressure-hold period, the
driver has enough time to press the ac‐ celerator pedal to drive off.
The braking pressure is reduced as
soon as the system detects the driver’s
intention to drive off.
WARNING
The HAC is usually activated only for2 seconds. The driver should becareful from the rolling backwardcausing the accident with behind ob‐jects or human, when the driver mayfeel the unintended rolling backwardwhile driving off on hill due to insuf‐ficient brake hold pressure built-upby driver during stopping procedure.
NOTICE
•The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
•The HAC activates even though
the ESC is off but it does not acti‐
vate when the ESC has malfunc‐
tioned.
Vehicle stability management
(VSM) (if equipped)
This system provides further enhance‐
ments to vehicle stability and steering responses when a vehicle is driving on a
slippery road or a vehicle detected
changes in coefficient of friction be‐ tween right wheels and left wheels
when braking.
VSM operation
When the VSM is in operation, ESC indi‐
cator light () blinks.
When the vehicle stability management
is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is
only the effect of brake control and in‐
dicates nothing unusual.

Using the Tire Mobility Kit
1. Detach the speed restriction label(1) from the sealant bottle (2), and
place it in a highly visible place in‐
side the vehicle such as on the
steering wheel to remind the driver
not to drive too fast.
2. Filling the sealant Strictly follow the specified sequence, otherwise
the sealant may escape under high pressure.
3. Shake the sealant bottle.
4. Connect the filling hose (3) onto the connector of the sealant bottle (A).
5. Ensure that the button (9) on the compressor is not pressed.
6. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the defective wheel and
screw the filling hose (3) of the
sealant bottle onto the valve.
7. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing of the compressor so that
the bottle is upright (B).
8. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0.
9. Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors.
NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet.
10. With the ignition switched on or en‐ gine start/stop button position on:
Switch on the compressor and let it
run for approximately 3 minutes to
fill the sealant. The inflation pres‐
sure of the tire after filling is unim‐
portant.
11. Switch off the compressor.
