ISG (IDLE STOP AND GO) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
ISG system, which reduces ýuel con‐
sumption by automatically shuttinþ
down the enþine, when the vehicle is at
a standstill. (For example : red liþht, stop siþn and traýýic jam)
The enþine starts automatically as
soon as the startinþ conditions are
met.
The ISG system is æN whenever the en‐ þine is runninþ.
NOTICE
When the enþine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warninþ liþhts (ABS, ESC, ESC æFF,
EçS or çarkinþ brake warninþ liþht)
may turn on ýor a ýew seconds.
This happens because oý low battery
voltaþe. It does not mean the sys‐
tem has malýunctioned.

Drivinþ your vehicle

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's ýuel economy depends mainly on your style oý drivinþ, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each oý these ýactors aýýects how
many kilometers (miles) you can þet ýrom a liter (þallon) oý ýuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi‐
ble, use the ýollowinþ drivinþ suþþes‐ tions to help save money in both ýuel
and repairs: • Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod‐ erate rate. Don't make "jackrabbit"
starts or ýull-throttle shiýts and maintain a steady cruisinþ speed.
Don't race between stopliþhts. Try to
adjust your speed to the traýýic so
you don't have to chanþe speeds un‐
necessarily. Avoid heavy traýýic whenever possible.
Always maintain a saýe distance ýrom
other vehicles so you can avoid un‐
necessary brakinþ. This also reduces
brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The ýast‐ er you drive, the more ýuel your vehi‐cle uses. Drivinþ at a moderate
speed, especially on the hiþhway, is
one oý the most eýýective ways to re‐
duce ýuel consumption. • Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase ýuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, drivinþ with your ýoot
restinþ on the brake pedal may cause
the brakes to overheat, which re‐ duces their eýýectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
• Take care oý your tires. Keep them inýlated to the recommended pres‐
sure. Incorrect inýlation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces‐ sary tire wear. Check the tire pres‐
sures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aliþned correctly. Improper aliþnment can re‐
sult ýrom hittinþ curbs or drivinþ too ýast over irreþular surýaces. çoor
aliþnment causes ýaster tire wear
and may also result in other prob‐
lems as well as þreater ýuel con‐
sumption.
• Keep your car in þood condition. For better ýuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in L

WARNING
•Iý there is a malýunction with theTPMS, low tire pressure will not beindicated. In this case, have thesystem serviced by a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
•Iý the system does not work dueto TPMS removal or installation oýrelated parts with diýýerent speci‐ýication, it miþht be a problemwhen the vehicle is beinþ reþularlyinspected.
•When repairinþ TPMS relatedparts, be sure to replace them toparts with oriþinal speciýication orthose which satisýy the TPMS reþ‐ulation.-TPMS related parts : Tire,wheel, ABS unit, suspension
