Kia XCeed 2020 Owner's Manual page 381

Driving your vehicle
engine is started. These conditions
are normal and indicate that the
anti-lock brake system is functioning
properly.
• Even with the anti-lock brake
system, your vehicle still requires
sufficient stopping distance.
Always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
• Always slow down when
cornering. The anti-lock brake
system cannot prevent accidents
resulting from excessive speeds.
• On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake
system may result in a longer
stopping distance than for vehicles
equipped with a conventional
brake system.
ODEEV068101NR
CAUTION
• If the ABS warning light is on
and stays on, you may have a
problem with the ABS. In this case,
however, 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
selfdiagnosis 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
6 54
case, have the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
• When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy
road, and operate your brakes
continuously, the ABS will be
active continuously and the ABS
warning light may illuminate. Pull
your car over to a safe place and
stop the engine.
• Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your ABS
system is normal. Otherwise, you
may have a problem with the ABS.
In this case, have the system
checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit 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
because of the low battery voltage.
It does not mean your ABS is
malfunctioning.
• Do not pump your brakes!
