handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

QUICK TIPS
Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) System*
The ISG system is designed to help reduce fuel consumption by automatically
shutting down the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON, the vehicle is at a standstill, and all preconditions
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
