normally.

• The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately 3 seconds after
the engine start/stop
switch is ON. During that time, the
ABS will go through self-diagnosis
and the light will go off if every‐
thing is normal. If the light stays
on, you may have a problem with
your ABS. We recommend that you
contact an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION
• When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and operate your brakes continu‐
ously, the ABS will be active con‐
tinuously and the ABS warning
light may illuminate. Pull your ve‐
hicle 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.
We recommend that you contact
an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
button
engine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warning light may turn on
at the same time. This happens be‐
cause of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS is malfunc‐
tioning.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
