ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
Vehicle Starting:	
Your	vehicle	is	equipped	with	SK YACTIV	combustion	technology.	This 	
technology 	includes 	AWS 	(Accelerated	Warm-up	System)	for	optimal 	
emission	performance	during	cold	starting	conditions. 	
Cold Start (e.g., First start of the day on cold mornings):	
Depress	the	brake	(Automatic	Trans.)	or	clutch	(Manual	Trans.),	when	the 		
key	indicator	light	turns	green	
	push	the	START/STOP 	button.
What you will notice:	On	start-up,	the	engine	speed	and	sound	are 	
higher	(1500	RPM)	for	30	seconds	to	1	minute	to	quickly	bring	the	catalyst 	
to	efficient	operating	temperature.	The	RPM	will	reduce	to	idle	once	the 	
temperature	is	achieved.	This	is	normal	engine	operation	under	cold 		
start	conditions.
   NOTE:
	You	can	drive	the	vehicle	during	AWS	activation,	no	need	to	wait.
Normal Start (Emission components within optimal   
temperature range):
Depress	the	brake	(Automatic	Trans.)	or	clutch	(Manual	Trans.),	when	the 		
key	indicator	light	turns	green	
	push	the	START/STOP 	button.
