Features of your vehicle
and add fluid as required (For
more details, refer to "Brake/
clutch fluid (if equipped)" on page
8-46). Then check all brake com -
ponents for fluid leaks. If any leak
on the brake system is still found,
the warning light remains on, or
the brakes do not operate prop -
erly, do not drive the vehicle.
In this case, have the vehicle
towed to a professional workshop
and inspected. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ser -
vice partner.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys -
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure
are required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail whilst you are driv -
ing, shift to a lower gear for addi -
tional engine braking and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
