NOTICE

the parking brake warning light will
appear to indicate that the system is
operating.
If you notice a continuous noise or burn-
ing smell when the EPB is used for emer-
gency braking, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
When the EPB is not released
If the EPB does not release normally,
take your vehicle to an authorized Kia
dealer by loading the vehicle on a flat-
bed tow truck and have the system
checked.
