Cold start support system (Flex fuel vehicle, for Brazil and Paraguay)

When starting a Kia Picanto equipped with the flex fuel system in outside temperatures below 20°C, the cold start support system operates automatically according to the operating conditions.

To start a flex fuel vehicle (FFV) when both the engine is cold and the outside temperature is below 20°C, petrol must be available in the cold start reservoir.

For instructions on filling the petrol reservoir, refer to the “Fuel filler door” section.
