Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal while driving, emergency braking
is possible by pulling up and holding the
EPB switch. Braking is possible only
while you are holding the EPB switch.
However, braking distance will be longer
than normal.
WARNING
Do not operate the Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB) while the vehicle is moving
except in an emergency situation. Apply-
ing the EPB while 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
appear to indicate that the system is
operating.
NOTICE
If you notice a continuous noise or burn-
ing smell when the EPB is used for emer-
gency braking, have your vehicle
checked by a professional workshop.
Visit an authorized Kia dealer.
