Kia Carens: Driving your vehicle / 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 has
malfunctioned.
To start the diesel engine when the engine is cold, it has to be pre-heated before
starting the engine and then have to be warmed up before starting to drive.
