Vehicle Stability Management (Vsm) System - Kia Sorento 2022 Manual

Driving your vehicle
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal is hardly depressed.
When the driver steps on the
brake pedal over a certain level
whilst Multi-Collision Brake Sys-
tem is active, the braking power
takes priority over automatic
braking by Multi-Collision Brake
system. However, if the driver
takes his/her foot off the brake
pedal, Multi-Collision Brake sys-
tem will maintain automatic brak-
ing.
Function off
Multi-Collision Brake is cancelled in
the following situations:
The accelerator pedal is
depressed over a certain level.
The vehicle stops.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
or electronic devices has malfunc-
tioned.
In a situation system cannot
operate normally.
Ten seconds have passed since
the brake has been controlled
automatically by Multi-Collision
Brake system.
WARNING
Multi-Collision Brake decreases
vehicle speed after a collision and
reduces the risk of a second colli-
sion, but it does not prevent a
second collision. You may drive
away from the collision spot to
6 54
avoid other dangerous situations
by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
After the vehicle is stopped by
Multi Collision Brake, the system
stops controlling the brakes.
Depending on the situation, the
driver should depress the brake or
the accelerator pedal to prevent a
further accident.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) system
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) provides further enhance-
ments to vehicle stability and steer-
ing responses under the following
condition:
when driving on a slippery road or
when a change in the coefficient
of friction between left and right
wheels is detected.
WARNING
Tyre/Wheel size
When replacing tyres and wheels,
make sure they are the same size
as the original tyres and wheels
installed. Driving with varying tyre
or wheel sizes may diminish any
supplemental safety benefits of the
VSM system.
