2016 Kia Forte EXFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Start/Stop Button(SSB)

A single stage push button is used for the driver to operate the vehicle. Pressing this button allows:

  • To activate the power modes 'Off', 'Accessory', 'Ignition' and "Start" by switching the corresponding terminals
  • To start the engine
  • To stop the engine

The contact will be insured by a micro-switch and a backlighting is provided to highlight the marking of the button whenever necessary.

Two (2) LED colors are located in the center of the button to display of the status of the system. Another illumination LED is also integrated into the SSB for the lighting of the "Engine Start/Stop" characters.
