Checking the parking brake

Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
"clicks'' heard while fully applying it
from the released position. Also, the
parking brake alone should securely
hold the vehicle on a fairly steep
grade. If the stroke is more or less
than specified, have the parking
brake adjusted by an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
Stroke : 7~8 "clicks'' at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
