AUTO HOLD
NOTICE
Engage the brake pedal when the above

mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally.
ONQ5H041017
If the EPB malfunction indicator remains
on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ENGINE START/
STOP button is changed to the ON posi-
tion, this indicates that the EPB may
have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
The EPB malfunction indicator may
appear when the ESC indicator comes
on to indicate that the ESC is not work-
ing properly, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the EPB.
NOTICE
The EPB warning light may appear if the
EPB switch operates abnormally. Shut
the engine off and turn it on again after
a few minutes. The warning light will go
off and the EPB switch will operate nor-
mally. However, if the EPB warning light
is still on, have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
If the parking brake warning light does
not appear or blinks even though the
EPB switch was pulled up, the EPB is not
applied.
If the parking brake warning light blinks
when the EPB warning light is on, press
the EPB switch, then pull it up. Once
more press it back to its original position
and pull it back up. If the EPB warning
does not go off, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
