Kia Sorento: Auto stop
When you depress the brake pedal and bring your Kia Sorento to a complete halt while the Idle Stop and Go system is engaged, the engine cuts out automatically to conserve fuel.
Ensure you bring your vehicle to a complete standstill by applying steady pressure to the brake pedal while the transmission remains shifted into D (Drive) or N (Neutral).

The engine stops seamlessly, and the green AUTO STOP (
) indicator illuminates on your instrument
cluster.

(A) Auto Stop is Off. Shift to P or N and start engine manually. |
NOTE
If you lift the engine hood while your Kia Sorento is operating in Auto Stop mode, the following specific events take place:
-
The ISG system deactivates automatically, and the amber indicator light on the physical ISG OFF button switches on.
-
A safety notification pops up on the driver display:
(A) Press brake pedal to deactivate AUTO HOLD
-
If you move the gear selector from N (Neutral) into D (Manual mode) or R (Reverse) after an automatic engine shutdown without keeping the brake pedal depressed, the engine will not restart on its own and an audible chime will sound. To re-enable ignition startup, firmly engage the foot brake.
