Driving your vehicle
lock, the ABS system repeatedly modu-
lates the hydraulic brake pressure to the
wheels.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a "tik-tik'' sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensa-
tion in the brake pedal. This is normal
and it means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum benefit
from your ABS in an emergency situa-
tion, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes. Press your brake pedal as
hard as possible to allow the ABS to con-
trol the force being delivered to the
brakes.
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehicle
begins to move after the engine is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake sys-
tem is functioning properly.
僅 Even with the anti-lock brake system,
your vehicle still requires sufficient
stopping distance. Always maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle in front
of you.
僅 Always slow down when cornering.
The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resulting from
excessive speeds.
僅 On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.

The ABS warning light will stay on for
approximately 3 seconds after the
ENGINE START/STOP button is ON.
During that time, the ABS will go through
selfdiagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays on,
you may have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
僅 When you drive on a road having poor
traction, such as an icy road, and have
operated your brakes continuously,
the ABS will be active continuously
and the ABS warning light may
appear. Pull your vehicle over to a
safe place and stop the engine.
僅 Restart the engine. If the ABS warning
light goes off, then your ABS system is
normal. Otherwise, you may have a
problem with the ABS. Contact an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the engine
may not run as smoothly and the ABS
warning light may turn on at the same
time. This happens because of low bat-
tery voltage. It does not mean your ABS
has malfunctioned.
僅 Do not pump your brakes!
僅 Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
