Features of your vehicle
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diag-
onal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems work-
ing, 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 whilst you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional
engine braking and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNING
Parking brake & brake fluid warning
light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light
ON is dangerous. If the parking brake &
brake fluid warning light appears with
the parking brake released, it indicates
that the brake fluid level is low.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by a professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/
service partner.
Regenerative brake warning light
(red colour)
This warning light appears:
When the regenerative brake does not
operate and the brake does not perform
well. This causes the Brake Warning
Light (red) and Regenerative Brake
Warning Light (yellow) to appear simul-
taneously.
(yellow colour)
Warning and indicator lights
In this case, drive safely and have the
vehicle inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
The operation of the brake pedal may be
more difficult than normal and the brak-
ing distance can increase.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
warning light
This warning light appears:
僅 Once you set the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button to the
ON position.
- It appears for approximately 3 sec-
onds and then goes off.
僅 When there is a malfunction with the
ABS (The normal braking system will
still be operational without the assis-
tance of the anti-lock brake system).
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
Electronic Brake Force Distribu-
tion (EBD) system warning light
These two warning lights appear
at the same time whilst driving:
僅 When the ABS and regular brake sys-
tem may not work normally.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
