Features of your vehicle
If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional en‐
gine braking and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNING
n Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light ON is dangerous. If the Parking
Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light il‐
luminates with the parking brake re‐
leased, it indicates that the brake
fluid level is low.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
Regenerative brake
warning light
(red color)
This warning light illumi‐
nates:
When the regenerative
brake does not operate and
(yellow color)
the brake does not perform
well. This causes the Brake

Brake Warning Light (yellow) to illumi‐
nate simultaneously.

In this case, drive safely and we recom‐
mend that you have your vehicle in‐
spected by an authorized Kia dealer.
The operation of the brake pedal may
be more difficult than normal and the
braking distance can increase.

(ABS) warning light
This warning light illumi‐
nates:
• Once you set the Engine Start/Stop
Button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds and then goes off.
• When there is a malfunction with the
ABS (The normal braking system will
still be operational without the assis‐
tance of the anti-lock brake system).
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
Electronic brake force
distribution (EBD)
system warning light
These two warning lights il‐
luminate at the same time
while driving:
• When the ABS and regular
brake system may not
work normally.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
