• On loose or uneven road surfaces, op‐
eration of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping dis‐
tance than for vehicles equipped with
a conventional brake system.
CAUTION
• If the ABS warning light is on and
stays on, you may have a problem
with the ABS. In this case, howev‐
er, your regular brakes will work
normally.

• The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately 3 seconds after
the ignition switch is ON. During
that time, the ABS will go through
self-diagnosis and the light will go
off if everything is normal. If the
light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. In this
case, have your vehicle inspected
by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to contact an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
• When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and have operated your brakes
continuously, the ABS will be ac‐
tive continuously and the ABS
warning light may illuminate. Pull
your vehicle over to a safe place
and stop the engine.

• Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light goes off, then your
ABS system is normal. Otherwise,
you may have a problem with the
ABS. In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to contact
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warning light may turn on
at the same time. This happens be‐
cause of low battery voltage. It does
not mean your ABS has malfunc‐
tioned.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
