Kia Picanto: Engine start/stop button / Starting the engine
WARNING
- Always wear appropriate shoes
when operating your vehicle. Unsuitable
shoes (high heels, ski
boots, etc.) may interfere with
your ability to use the brake and
accelerator pedal.
- Do not start the vehicle with the
accelerator pedal depressed. The
vehicle can move and lead to an
accident.
- Wait until the engine rpm is normal.
The vehicle may suddenly
move if the brake padel is released
when the rpm is high.
NOTICE
Kick down mechanism (if
equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with a kick
down mechanism in the accelerator
pedal, it prevents you from driving
at full throttle unintentionally by
making the driver require increased
effort to depress the accelerator
pedal. However, if you depress the
pedal more than approximately 80%,
the vehicle can be at full throttle and
the accelerator pedal will be easier
to depress. This is not a malfunction
but a normal condition.
Starting the gasoline engine
1. Carry the smart key or leave it inside
the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
firmly applied.
3. Manual Transaxle - Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the
transaxle into Neutral. Keep the
clutch pedal and brake pedal depressed
while starting the engine.
Automatic Transaxle - Place the
transaxle shift lever in P (Park). Depress
the brake pedal fully.
You can also start the engine when
the shift lever is in the N (Neutral)
position.
4. Press the engine start/stop button.
It should be started without depressing
the accelerator.
5. Do not wait for the engine to warm
up while the vehicle remains stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and decelerating
should be avoided.)
Manual transaxle
- When starting the vehicle, keep the
clutch and brake pedal depressed,
check if the rpm is within the appropriate
range, and place the shift lever
into the required position.
- Release the parking brake, take your
foot off the clutch pedal, depress the
accelerator pedal and slowly start the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not turn the ignition switch to
the START position with the engine
running. It may damage the starter.
- Even if the smart key is in the vehicle,
if it is far away from you, the engine
may not start.
- When the ENGINE START/STOP button
is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, the
“” or “”
indicator will blink or
the warning "Key is not in vehicle" will
illuminate on the LCD display. And if
all doors are closed, the chime will
sound for 5 seconds. The indicator or
warning will turn off while the vehicle
is moving. Always have the smart key
with you.
WARNING
The engine will start, only when the
smart key is in the vehicle.
Never allow children or any person
who is unfamiliar with the vehicle
touch the ENGINE START/STOP button
or related parts.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls while the vehicle
is in motion, do not attempt to move
the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
If the traffic and road conditions
permit, you may put the shift
lever in the N (Neutral) position while
the vehicle is still moving and press
the ENGINE START/STOP button in
an attempt to restart the engine.
NOTICE
- If the battery is weak or the smart
key does not work correctly, you
can start the engine by pressing
the engine start/stop button with
the smart key.
- When the brake switch fuse is
blown, you can't start the engine
normally. Replace the fuse with a
new one. If it is not possible, you
can start the engine by pressing
the ENGINE START/STOP button
for 10 seconds while it is in the
ACC position. The engine can start
without depressing the brake pedal.
But for your safety always depress
the brake pedal before
starting the engine.
CAUTION
Do not press the ENGINE START/
STOP button for more than
10 seconds except when the stop
lamp fuse is blown.
