ISG malfunction
The ISG may not operate when an ISG related sensor or system error occurs.
The following will happen:
-
The yellow AUTO STOP (
) indicator on the instrument cluster will stay on after blinking for 5 seconds.
-
The light on the ISG OFF button will appear.
When the engine is in Idle Stop mode, it's possible to restart the engine without taking any action. Before leaving your Kia or doing anything in the engine compartment, stop the engine by the ENGINE START/STOP button to the OFF position.
If the Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery is reconnected or replaced, ISG function will not operate immediately. If you want to use the ISG function, the battery sensor needs to be calibrated for approximately 4 hours with the ignition off. After calibration, turn the engine on and off 2 or 3 times.
