When you select AWD Lock mode by pressing
the AWD LOCK button A, the AWD LOCK mode
increases the drive power when driving on wet
pavement, snow covered roads and/or off-road.
•This mode is used for climbing or descending
sharp grades, off-road driving, driving on
sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve
traction
•This mode automatically shifts back to
AWD AUTO mode at speed above 19 mph.
If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below
approximate 25 mph, however, the transfer
mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a
shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered
entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a
mechanical failure.
AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Lock*Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) System
The ISG system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by automatically shutting down
the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON and the vehicle
is at a standstill, the engine will stop, and the
green AUTO STOP indicator B on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal
is released or the shift lever is moved from
D (Drive) to the R (Reverse) position or to
Manual Shift mode. When engine restarts,
the green AUTO STOP indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn off.
To deactivate the ISG System, press the
ISG OFF button C. If you press again, the
system will be activated.
REMINDERS:
•ISG is active by default at vehicle startup. When ignition is cycled, ISG will turn ON again
•
Under certain conditions, the engine will restart automatically even if the brake pedal is still depressed
•
If the AUTO STOP indicator is continuously blinking yellow and the ISG button LED is on, please contact an authorized Kia dealer
•If the AUTO STOP indicator A is solid yellow, the system is functional, but just has not met all its enabling criteria to activate ISG at that time.
•
The ISG system is disabled when:
•A seat belt is unfastened
•The hood or a door is opened
•Battery condition is poor
•
The front or rear defroster is turned on
•
Engine coolant temperature is low
•
The outside ambient temperature is too low/high
•

The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system utilizes an
electric motor to engage the parking brake.
Applying the Parking Brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull up the EPB switch A.
Ensure that the indicator light is illuminated on the
instrument cluster.
Releasing the Parking Brake
The EPB will automatically release when the shifter is
placed in Reverse or Drive.
To release EPB manually, depress the brake pedal, then
press the EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the
ON position. Ensure that the indicator light is OFF.
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even
though the brake pedal is not depressed after the driver brings the
vehicle to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal. Auto
Hold can be turned On/Off using the AUTO HOLD button B on the
center panel below the gear shift. Before Auto Hold will operate,
the driver’s door, engine hood and liftgate must be closed, and the
driver’s seat belt must be fastened.
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument Cluster has four
states:
White: Standby – When vehicle is in Park and at a standstill, and
AUTO HOLD button B is pressed ON, the indicator will illuminate
white. While driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill), the
Auto Hold indicator will remain white.
Green: Engaged – When coming to a complete stop by depressing
the brake pedal, the Auto Hold indicator changes from white to
green.
Off (not illuminated) – The
indicator will turn Off when
the AUTO HOLD button B
is manually pressed Off or
when the EPB is manually
turned On.
Yellow: Malfunction –
When the indicator is
illuminated yellow, there may
be a system malfunction.
Take your vehicle to a local
Kia dealer.
•When leaving your keys with parking lot attendants or valet, make sure to inform them how to operate the EPB •If parked on a steep incline/decline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application •Pull up and hold EPB switch a second time to increase brake pressure if parked on a decline or incline
