Huh..so bro, that means EX also have seat-belt indicator light as well? Can any bros driving EX also able to double confirm this?

Thanks bro..huh..need to sound out in my next 5K servicing liao..

no have... no indicator except when start engine the test indicator...

MINE EX (M)...

WHEN POKE KEY IN ..... N TURN
SEE RED COLOR ....
WHEN START ENGINE.... RED COLOR GONE...
N NOTHING CAN BE SEEN FROM THERE....

CAN SEE THAT RMP IS ARD 1.5K IF THE CAR IS COLD START DEN SLOWLY BECOME 1K DEN LESS DEN 1K

mine is SX(A)

poke key n turn to start... can see e indicator in RED n very fast go off..
start engine... there nothing not even e blue indicator..

same as mine.
looks like its a big issue here

Yes i agree it's quite a big issue..as many brothers do not have the indicator light..besides that..i'm sure there are other indicator lights that do not light up as well..such as seat belt light and fog/high beam light..

I personally hv not try out the fog and high beam light yet..will try and see have or not..

i cfm my seat belt light and cold engine indicator nv light up at all.
thats bad QC by KIA.
im gonna list out my complain on it this wed at LK.
*(#&@%$*!(

however its seems to be small issue but link up to be a big issue. lol..

Anyway jus confirm on my ride 1.6 SX(M)...the icon lits up in red bt goes off after a few seconds...wonder hw cum some bro's ride have blue colour de?does it mean differently or jus different colour?

If u read the manual, some indicators stated beside with : "(if equipped)" meaning some r not by default built in...for EX, bcos the lack of temp.sensor bar display as liked in SX display panel...EX is equipped with blue n red engine temp. indicators...blue meaning is ok, while red meaning engine overheat.....during normal driving, for EX u can't gauge the temp level only when things happen then the red indicator appear..one way to solve it is to install a aftermarket water temp. sensor but that will definitely void warranty bcos they need to cut certain part of the water hose and place the sensor in between....and if workmanship is lousy, chances of water leakage therefore may lead to other problems....my advise is not to fix such device and make it a habbit to check your radiator reservior weekly to see and adnormal drop in coolant level....

For SX, beside the temp-sensor bar on the display panel, when overheat, the red alert indicator will appear on the panel....

i think my seat belt light also never light up.. or are there sound when seat belt is not on....

o so confirm no sound... best.. cause I for short journey I always dont wear seat belt one... lolz.. and I hate the sound very irritating.

my car is currently at LK for 1000km servicing, took the chance to ask the mechanic abt the blue light indicator thing..
he mentioned to me for SX model no blue light indication as there's a temp display at the cluster display.

dun noe he got smoke me anot

he didn't smoke u..for SX I have mentioned before, when u start engine, there's a red engine temp indicator appear only for 1-2 secs and goes off...that's to tell u that the red alert indicator is working just like the rest of the indicators...to observe the temp for SX we can use the display panel....if touch wood, engine really overheat, the red indicator will appear on the panel when u r driving telling u engine overheating...

For EX should have both red and blue indicators

So is the conculsion here that

EX no temp meter in the display so they have the blue indicator?

SX has the temp meter in the display therefore the blue indicator wont light up? abit sub standard also even for SX having the temp meter but no indicator.

If there is a red indicator when engine hot means its a case of emergency right. I assume Cold is not emergency so no indicator?

Mine a SX, no blue indicator, just a red one that is light up during initial engine start and then off in 1-2 sec time.

so it could be true wor....

Don't be too worry lah, usually when ur engine is really overheat.....it will be very obvious within mins.

Hence most car manuals and books says

"OFF your ENGINE IMMEDIATELY when you see the indicator lights up and call for assistance"

it happened to my 2L auto forte oso...
saw red indictor then after start the engine, no more indictor shown

I drive SX. Same as what Fortec has written.

What I usually do to start my car is I will first insert the key, twist the key clockwise abit, that will on battery.

Then all the indicator lights will on lor. Then I think you will hear a faint "spring-like" sound. Then the light will off.

But if you crank fully to start engine then maybe its harder to see the red light at all.

Poor Tish and Divine still in C&C explaining the blue engine warm light issue to the mechanic....

lol...its my turn to talk to the mechanic tmr for the whole as i took a day leave already.

I know the SX one not suppose to light up except for during start up as part of the light functional checks on all the indicators.

Otherwise, when it lights up means up lorry liao.

err then how come my 2.0L SX one light up blue but off very fast la....

After so many confusion, i got one question to ask
the blue light is reffering to engine warm-up or coolant warm-up?
isit this same?
