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

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:

•
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

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors*†6
Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors can help alert the driver when rear
passenger(s) are left in the rear seats using the ultrasonic sensors and door monitoring.
The system is designed to provide three separate alerts:
• The 1st alert is a message on the Instrument Cluster, “Check Rear Seats” A, and a
chime will sound
After the 1st alert, when the doors are locked and there is movement detected in the rear
seats, the horn will sound for about 25 seconds. This alert may activate up to eight times
within 24 hours, if movement is still detected and system has not been disabled
• If you have installed the Kia Access with UVO Link app on your smartphone, logged in
and activated the Rear Occupant Alert notification, a third alert (notification) will be sent
to your phone
To turn the system on or off, in the Instrument Cluster or Audio Head Unit*, go to User
Settings, select Convenience, and then Rear Occupant Alert.
Rear Occupant with Ultrasonic Sensors activates under the following conditions:
• A rear passenger door is opened and closed
• The ignition has been turned off
• The driver’s door has been opened, then closed
• The doors are locked with the Smart Key or the door lock
button on the door handle

B
REMINDERS: •
To avoid false alerts, make sure the vehicle’s windows are rolled up •
If objects such as boxes are stacked in front of the ultrasonic sensors, the system may not detect any movement •
The ultrasonic sensors may occasionally detect movement in the vehicle and cause false alerts, when there are no rear occupants present. False alerts can occur due to:– The presence of insects near the system sensor– Rushing air from a window that is rolled down– Movement around the exterior of the vehicle– Surrounding noise or vibration– Vehicle passing through a car wash– Movement in the driver or front passenger seat is detected •
The Rear Occupant Alert with Ultrasonic Sensors system may fail to detect movement and activate an alarm if: – Movement is subtle or does not continue – A small child sits directly in a seat without a car seat–
A rear passenger is covered with an object such as a blanket, obstructing the sensor’s view

•
The 1st alert message will not display on Instrument Cluster if the rear doors are never opened. Either rear doors must be opened after unlocking the vehicle before the system will activate.
•
To temporarily disable alerts, press the OK button B on the Steering Wheel while the message is displayed
•
To turn the alert off while sounding, press the unlock button on the Smart Key or press the door lock button on the door handle
•
Must be enrolled in UVO services and Kia Access app installed on the phone to receive ROA alert notifications on your smartphone
