The Vehicle Auto Shut-off system in the Kia Seltos is designed to turn the vehicle off automatically after a selected period of time. This feature helps reduce unnecessary fuel use and energy consumption, and it also helps lower the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure when the vehicle is left running while parked.

Requirements for activation

This system can activate only when all of the following requirements are satisfied:

• The ignition switch is ON.

• The transmission is in the P (Park) position.

• The Kia Seltos is stopped.

• The vehicle speed is below 2 mph (3 km/h).

• The driver's seat belt is unfastened.

• A door is opened.

• The front passenger seat is not occupied.

Setting Shut-off Time

The driver can set the shut-off time using either the instrument cluster LCD display or the infotainment system screen. This allows the Kia Seltos driver to choose how long the vehicle may remain on before the automatic shut-off function operates.

The option can be found under the following menu:

With the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position, select ‘User Settings → Convenience → Vehicle Auto-Shut Off → 60 min./30 min./Off’ on the LCD display, or select ‘Setup → Vehicle → Convenience → Vehicle Auto-Shut Off → 60min/30min/Off’ on the infotainment system screen to set whether this function is used.

NOTICE

• The default setting will remain stored until the timer setting is changed or reset.

• If the driver selects 'Off' in User Settings mode, the timer will return to the previous setting at the next startup.

NOTICE

• The default shut-off time setting is 30 minutes.

Resetting the time

The system timer can be initialized and restarted under the following conditions:

• When the brake pedal is pressed and released.

• When the accelerator pedal is pressed.

• When the driver manually resets the timer.

• When the driver manually presses the OK button on the steering wheel.

Canceling the Vehicle Auto Shut-off system

The Vehicle Auto Shut-off system will be canceled automatically when any of the following conditions occur:

• The Kia Seltos speed increases above 2 mph (3 km/h).

• The transmission is shifted to D (Drive), R (Reverse), or N (Neutral).

• The driver's seat belt is fastened.
