Idle Stop & Go System
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 and the vehicle is at a standstill, the engine may stop, and the AUTO STOP indicator
on the Instrument Cluster will illuminate green
- The engine will restart when the brake pedal is released or the shift lever is moved from D (Drive) to the R (Reverse) or P (park) position or to Manual Shift mode. When the engine restarts, the green AUTO STOP indicator on the Instrument Cluster will turn off
- To deactivate the ISG System, press the ISG OFF button
. If you press again, the system will be activated
Quick Tips:
The ISG system will not activate when:
- A seat belt is unfastened
- The hood or a door is opened
- Battery condition is not adequate
- The front or rear defroster is turned on
- Engine coolant temperature is low
- The outside ambient temperature is too low/high
- Emission control devices activate
- The vehicle is on a steep slope
Reminders:
- When the ISG system is on and the vehicle is at a standstill, the engine may not stop and the AUTO STOP indicator on the Instrument Cluster will illuminate YELLOW. This indicates the system is functional but not all enabling criteria have been met.
- ISG is active by default at vehicle startup. 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 indicatoris continuously blinking yellow and the ISG button LED is on, please contact an authorized Kia dealer
