Driving your vehicle

on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the EV button is changed
to the ON position, this indicates that the
EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible.
The EPB malfunction indicator may
appear when the ESC indicator comes
on to indicate that the ESC is not work-
ing properly, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the EPB.
The EPB warning light may appear if the
EPB switch operates abnormally. Shut
the vehicle off and turn it on again after
a few minutes.
NOTICE
The warning light will go off and the EPB
switch will operate normally. However, if
the EPB warning light is still on, have the
system checked by an authorized Kia
