Features of your vehicle
Parking brake & brake fluid
warning light
This warning light illuminates:

ENGINE START/STOP button to the
ON position.

seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake is
applied.
僅 When the parking brake is applied.
僅 When the brake fluid level in the res-
ervoir is low.

the parking brake released, it indi-
cates the brake fluid level in reser-
voir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the res-
ervoir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required (For more details,
refer to "Brake/clutch fluid (if
equipped)" on page 7-26). Then check
all brake components for fluid leaks. If
any leak on the brake system is still
found, the warning light remains on,
or the brakes do not operate properly,
do not drive the vehicle.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diag-
onal braking systems. This means you
Warning and indicator lights
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems work-
ing, more than normal pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure are required to
stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional
engine braking and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
