Idle Stop And Go (Isg) System; Auto Start - Kia Sportage 2025 Manual

Driving your vehicle

Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system

The Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system
reduces fuel consumption by automati-
cally shutting down the engine when the
vehicle is at a standstill. (For example:
red light and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as soon
as the starting conditions are met.
The ISG 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.
Auto stop
If you depress the brake pedal and the
vehicle comes to a stop with the ISG ON,
the engine will stop automatically.
Stop the vehicle completely by pressing
the brake pedal when the gear is in the
D (Drive) or N (Neutral) position.
ONQ5E031430L
The engine will stop and the green
