Kia Soul: ISG (Idle stop and go) system
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ISG system, which reduces fuel consumption by automatically shutting down the engine, when the vehicle is at a standstill. (For example : red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as soon as the starting conditions are met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the engine is running.
✽ NOTICE
When the engine automatically starts by the ISG system, some warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, EPS or Parking brake warning light) may turn on for a few seconds.
This happens because of low battery voltage. It does not mean the system is malfunctioning.
Starting the engine
1.Carry the smart key or leave it inside the vehicle.
2.Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.
3.Place the transaxle shift lever in P (Park). Depress the brake pedal fully.
