have been met, the engine will stop and the green AUTO STOP indicator
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 A (LED lit). If you
press again, the system will be activated.
For more information on Idle, Stop and Go System, refer to section 2 in the Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.
REMINDERS:
•
When the AUTO STOP indicator illuminates solid yellow, the system is activated without faults, but will not operate until all the conditions are met
•
ISG is active by default at vehicle start-up. 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

Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) for both automatic and manual transmissions.
The following are unique driving tips of the Dual Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park position.
If the vehicle is held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/transmission may overheat, resulting in damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated clutch and transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from standstill during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating an amber-colored warning light will be displayed on the instrument cluster. Should this condition occur,
pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
