Kia K900: Malfunction indicator

The AVSM OFF indicator will illuminate when the Engine Start/Stop Button is turned ON, but should go off after approximately 3 seconds.

If the indicator does not come on, or continuously remains on after coming on for about 3 seconds when you turn the Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON position, or if the indicator comes on while driving, the AVSM is not working properly. Take your vehicle to an authorized K900 Kia dealer and have the system checked.

The AVSM OFF indicator may illuminate when the ESC indicator or SCC indicator comes on, but it does not indicate a malfunction of the AVSM.
