operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle.

Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys -
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure
are required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv -
ing, shift to a lower gear for addi -
tional engine braking and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

light ON is dangerous. If the Parking
Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light
illuminates with the parking brake
released, it indicates that the brake
fluid level is low.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
