Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s start/stop configuration before ordering, especially on 2012 Kia Rio and 2012 Kia Soul applications with notes calling out start/stop exclusions. Verify clockwise rotation, 8-tooth drive count, and 12-volt system requirements against the original unit before installation. Check the mounting pattern and electrical connections on the removed starter to ensure the replacement matches the vehicle’s OE configuration.
