The indicator light illuminates when the ignition switch is placed at the ON position. The engine can be started after the preheat indicator light goes off. The illuminating time varies with the water temperature, air temperature and battery condition.
✽ NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the LOCK/OFF position for 10 seconds, and then to the ON position, in order to preheat again.
CAUTION
If the preheat indicator light continues to illuminate or flash on and off after the engine has warmed up or while driving, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
