How to Start a Kia K3?
1 Answers
The Kia K3 comes standard with a push-button start function across all models. First, press the start button once and wait for the ACC light to illuminate. Then, press the start button again, at which point the push-button start will turn green, and the vehicle will begin self-inspection. Once the self-inspection is complete, press the brake pedal and press the push-button start once more to start the vehicle. Below are some important notes regarding the use of the push-button start in the Kia K3: 1. Turning off/starting the engine while driving. Turning off the engine while driving: In case of an emergency while the vehicle is in motion, you can turn off the engine by pressing the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively. The power will then switch to ACC mode. Starting the engine while driving: If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in motion, you can restart it without pressing the brake pedal by shifting the gear lever to N (neutral) and pressing the engine start/stop button. 2. Low battery or malfunctioning smart key. If the smart key battery is low or the smart key is not functioning properly, replace the battery promptly. If you need to use the vehicle, you can unlock the door with the mechanical key and insert the smart key into the smart key cylinder to start the engine. 3. Steering wheel lock. When the engine start/stop button is in the OFF position, the steering wheel locks as an anti-theft measure. The steering wheel will also automatically lock when the door is opened or the smart key is removed from the smart key cylinder. Normally, the steering wheel will automatically unlock when the engine start/stop button is in ACC mode. If the steering wheel does not unlock properly, you can release the tension by turning the steering wheel left or right while pressing the engine start/stop button. 4. Starting the engine under special circumstances. If the brake light fuse is blown, the engine usually cannot be started. In this case, you can start the engine by holding the engine start/stop button for 10 seconds while it is in ACC mode.
