Vehicle driving controls
僅 The system may not operate depending on driver's driving habit, the degree to which
the brake pedal is depressed and the road surface condition.
NOTE
僅 A click sound may be heard in the vehicle compartment when the vehicle begins to
move after the vehicle is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that the Anti-
lock Brake System is functioning properly.
僅 When you jump start your vehicle because of a drained battery, the vehicle may not run
as smoothly and the ABS warning light may turn on at the same time. This happens
because of low battery voltage. It does not mean your ABS has malfunctioned.
- Do not pump your brakes!
- Have the battery recharged before driving the vehicle.
僅 A click sound may be heard in the vehicle compartment when the vehicle begins to
move after the vehicle is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that the Elec-
tronic Stability Control system is functioning properly.
僅 When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, ensure that the ESC is turned off (ESC
OFF light illuminated). If the ESC is left on, it may prevent the vehicle speed from
increasing, and result in false diagnosis.
僅 Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS or brake system operation.
僅 Select level 0 of the regenerative braking system and depress the brake pedal around
10 times to efficiently apply brake disc cleaning.
僅 Brake disc cleaning may decrease the driving distance by restraining the regenerative
braking system. After brake disc cleaning, the regenerative braking system may be
restored by selecting any other recuperation level other than 0.
僅 If the regenerative braking system is not restored after the brake disc cleaning, Kia rec-
ommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system will not activate, when the hazard warning
flashers are already on.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up in order to steer
and stabilize the vehicle.
If the ABS warning light ( ) stays on, contact a professional workshop as soon as possi-
ble. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
