Downhill Brake Control (Dbc) - Kia Sorento 2022 Manual

Driving your vehicle
NOTICE
When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated). If the ESC is left on, it
may prevent the vehicle speed
from increasing, and result in
false diagnosis.
Turning the ESC off does not
affect ABS or brake system oper-
ation.

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)

OMQ4050061R
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
feature assists the driver to
descend down a steep hill without
having to depress the brake pedal.
The system automatically applies
the brakes to maintain the vehicle
speed 4 km/h (2.5 mph) ~ 40 km/h
(25 mph) and allows the driver to
concentrate on steering the vehicle
down hill.
Always turn off the DBC on normal
roads. The DBC might activate inad-
vertently from the stand by mode
when driving through speed bumps
or making sharp curves.
NOTICE
The DBC defaults to the OFF posi-
tion whenever the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
Noise or vibration may occur from
the brakes when the DBC is acti-
vated.
The rear stop light comes on when
DBC is activated.
