Kia Seltos SP2 (2021-2026) Owner's Manual: Storage compartments

The Kia Seltos storage compartments are designed for small items needed by the driver or passengers. They help keep the cabin organized and reduce loose objects while driving. To reduce the risk of theft, do not leave valuables in the storage compartments. Always keep storage compartment covers closed while driving. Do not place too many items inside a compartment, so the cover can close securely.

Kia Seltos SP2 (2021-2026) Owner's Manual: Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system

The Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system in the Kia Seltos helps reduce fuel consumption by automatically turning off the engine when the vehicle is stopped, such as at a red light, stop sign, or in heavy traffic. The engine restarts automatically as soon as the required starting conditions are met, allowing the driver to continue smoothly without using the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button manually.
