Kia Stinger CK: Ignition System / Ignition Coil

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual / Engine Electrical System / Ignition System / Ignition Coil

Description and operation

Description

An ignition coil is an induction coil in an engine's ignition system which transforms the battery's low voltage to the high voltage needed to create an electric spark in the spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Coils have an internal resistor while others rely on a resistor wire or an external resistor to limit the current flowing into the coil from the battery 12 V supply.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Good braking practices

Check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away. Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the vehicle is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle to pull to one side.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Side air bag

❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration. Your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag in each front seat. The purpose of the air bag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat belt alone. The side air bags are designed to deploy during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.
