Driving your vehicle
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
vehicle compartment when the
vehicle begins to move after the
vehicle is started. These conditions
are normal and indicate that the
Anti-lock Brake System is function-
ing properly.
Even with the Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem, your vehicle still requires suffi-
cient 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 stop-
ping distance than for vehicles
equipped with a conventional brake
system.
The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately 3 seconds after
the ENGINE START/STOP button 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. Contact a
professional workshop as soon as
possible. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and have operated your brakes con-
tinuously, the ABS will be active
continuously and the ABS warning
light may illuminate. Pull your vehi-
cle over to a safe place and stop the
vehicle.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS
warning light goes off, then your
ABS is normal. Otherwise, you may
have a problem with the ABS. Con-
tact a professional workshop as
soon as possible. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ser-
vice partner.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
vehicle may not run as smoothly
and the ABS warning light may turn
on at the same time. This happens
because of low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS has mal-
functioned.
Do not pump your brakes!
Have the battery recharged
before driving the vehicle.
