Kia Soul 2022 Owner's Manual page 282

Driving your vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds
in the following circumstances:
When driving on rough, gravel or
snow-covered roads
When driving with tire chains
installed
When driving on roads where the
road surface is pitted or has dif -
ferent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increases
the stopping distance for your vehi -
cle.
The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a "tik-tik''
sound from the brakes, or feel a
corresponding sensation 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 emer -
gency situation, 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 control
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 system is function -
ing properly.
Even with the anti-lock brake sys -
tem, your vehicle still requires suffi -
cient stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down when cornering.
The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resulting from
excessive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake
system may result in a longer stop -
ping distance than for vehicles
equipped with a conventional brake
system.
The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately 3 seconds after
the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button is ON.
ODEEV068101NR
During that time, the ABS will go
through self diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
