Driving your vehicle
problem with the ABS. Contact an autho -
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the vehicle
may not operate smoothly and the ABS
warning light may turn on at the same
time. This happens because of low bat -
tery voltage. It does not mean your ABS
has malfunctioned.
僅 Do not pump your brakes!
僅 Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC system is designed to stabilize
the vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
OMV043016
ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is going. ESC applies
the brakes on individual wheels and
intervenes with the vehicle management
system to stabilize the vehicle.
ESC will not prevent accidents. Excessive
speed in turns, abrupt maneuvers and
hydroplaning on wet surfaces can still
result in serious accidents.
Only a safe and attentive driver can pre -
vent accidents by avoiding maneuvers
that cause the vehicle to lose traction.
Even with ESC installed, always follow
the normal precautions for driving -
including driving at safe speeds for the
conditions.
WARNING
For maximum protection, always wear
your seat belt. No system, no matter
how advanced, can compensate for all
driver error and/or driving conditions.
Always drive responsibly.
The ESC system is an electronic system
designed to help the driver maintain
vehicle control under adverse condi -
tions. It is not a substitute for safe driv -
ing practices. Factors including speed,
road conditions and driver steering input
can all affect whether ESC will be effec -
tive in preventing a loss of control. It is
still your responsibility to drive and cor -
ner at reasonable speeds and to leave a
sufficient margin of safety distance.
When you apply your brakes under con -
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a "tik-tik'' sound from the
brakes or feel a corresponding sensation
in the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESC is active.
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the cabin
when the vehicle begins to move after
the vehicle is started. These conditions
are normal and indicate that the ESC is
functioning properly.
