ISG malfunction
The system may not operate when:
-
The ISG related sensors or function error occurs.
The yellow AUTO STOP indicator (
) on the instrument cluster will stay on after blinking for 5 seconds and the light on the ISG OFF button will illuminate.
-
If the ISG OFF button light is not turned off by pressing the ISG OFF button again or if the ISG system continuously does not work correctly, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop as soon as possible. Kia recommends to contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
-
When the ISG OFF button light comes on, it may stop illuminating after driving your vehicle at approximately 80 km/h for a maximum of two hours and setting the fan speed control knob below the 2nd position. If the ISG OFF button light continues to be illuminated in spite of the procedure, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop as soon as possible. Kia recommends to contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
If the AGM battery is reconnected or replaced, ISG system will not operate immediately.
If you want to use the ISG system, the battery sensor needs to be calibrated for approximately 4 hours with the ignition off and then, turn the engine on and off 2 or 3 times.
When the engine is in Idle Stop mode, it's possible to restart the engine without the driver taking any action. Before leaving the car or doing anything in the engine room area, stop the engine by turning the ignition switch to the LOCK(OFF) position or removing the ignition key.
