This indicator light illuminates:
• When the engine is being preheated with the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop Button in the ON position.
- The engine can be started after the glow indicator light goes off.
- The illumination time varies with the engine coolant temperature, air temperature, and battery condition.
If the indicator light remains on or blinks after the engine has warmed up or while driving, there may a malfunction with the engine preheating system.
In this case, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
✽ NOTICE - Engine Preheating
If the engine does not start within 10 seconds after the preheating is completed, set the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop Button to the LOCK or OFF position for 10 seconds and then to the ON position in order to preheat the engine again.
