Driving your vehicle
Emergency braking with the EPB
switch
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal whilst driving, emergency
braking is possible by pulling up and
holding the EPB switch.
Braking is possible only whilst you
are holding the EPB switch.
WARNING
Do not operate the Electronic Park -
ing Brake (EPB) whilst the vehicle is
moving except in an emergency sit -
uation. Applying the EPB whilst the
vehicle is moving at normal speeds
can cause a sudden loss of control
of the vehicle. If you must use the
EPB to stop the vehicle, use great
caution in applying the brake.
NOTICE
During emergency braking by the
EPB, the parking brake warning light
will illuminate to indicate that the
system is operating.
If you notice a continuous noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used
for emergency braking, have your
vehicle checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
When the EPB is not released
If the EPB does not release nor -
mally, take your vehicle to a profes -
sional workshop by loading the
vehicle on a flatbed tow truck and
have the system checked. Kia rec -
ommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
