Driving your vehicle
Emergency braking with the EPB
switch
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal whilst driving, emergency braking
is possible by pulling up and holding the
EPB switch.
Braking is possible only whilst you are
holding the EPB switch.
WARNING
Do not operate the Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB) whilst the vehicle is moving
except in an emergency situation. Apply-
ing the EPB whilst the vehicle is moving
at normal speeds can cause a sudden
loss of control of the vehicle. If you must
use the EPB to stop the vehicle, use
great caution in applying the brake.
NOTICE
During emergency braking by the EPB,
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 a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
When the EPB is not released
If the EPB does not release normally,
take your vehicle to a professional work-
shop by loading the vehicle on a flatbed
tow truck and have the system checked.
