Start/Stop Button (SSB)

2015 Kia Soul EV BaseSECTION Start/Stop Button (SSB)

A single stage push button is used by the driver to operate the vehicle. By pressing this button, the driver can:

  • Switch between corresponding terminals to operate power modes "Off", "Accessory", "Ignition" and "Start"
  • Enter READY mode (standby)
