EPB malfunction indicator
This warning light illuminates if the
POWER button is changed to the ON
position and goes off in approximate-
ly 3 seconds if the system is opera-
tion normally.
If the EPB malfunction indicator
remains on, comes on while driving,
or does not come on when the
POWER button is changed to the ON
position, this indicates that the EPB
may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer
as soon as possible.
The EPB malfunction indicator may
illuminate when the ESC indicator
comes on to indicate that the ESC is
not working properly, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the EPB.
• The EPB warning light may illumi-
nate if the EPB switch operates
abnormally. Shut the vehicle power
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
OPSE054010
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
• If the parking brake warning light
does not illuminate or blinks

pulled up, the EPB is not applied.
• If the brake warning light (
blinking while the [EPB] warning
light is on, press the electronic
parking brake (EPB) switch once to
release the parking brake and turn
off the vehicle. Turn on the vehicle
again and pull the EPB switch to
