Driving your vehicle
whether they have been affected in
this way. Always test your brakes in
this fashion after driving through
deep water. To dry the brakes, apply
them lightly whilst maintaining a
safe forward speed until brake per -
formance returns to normal.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply
steady and firm pressure to the
brake pedal to slow the vehicle and
reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, take
the following steps:
1. Apply the brakes and bring your
vehicle to a safe stop.
2. Move the transmission to P
(Park), switch the engine off and
apply the parking brake.
3. Inspect the accelerator pedal for
any interference.
If none are found and the condition
persists, have your vehicle towed to
an authorised Kia dealer and
inspected.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes or rear brakes.
You may hear this sound come and
go or it may occur whenever you
press the brake pedal.

CAUTION
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
Always replace the front or rear
brake pads as pairs.
Rear drum brakes (if equipped)
Your rear drum brakes do not have
wear indicators. Therefore, have the
rear brake linings inspected if you
hear a rear brake rubbing noise. Also
have your rear brakes inspected
each time you change or rotate
your tyres and when you have the
front brakes replaced.
CAUTION
Replace brake pads
Do not continue to drive with worn
brake pads. Continuing to drive with
worn brake pads can damage the
braking system and result in costly
brake repairs.
WARNING
Brake wear
Do not ignore high pitched wear
sounds from your brakes. If you
ignore this audible warning, you will
eventually lose braking perfor -
mance, which could lead to a serious
accident.
