To release the parking brake, first
apply the foot brake and pull up the
parking brake lever slightly. Secondly
depress the release button (1) and
lower the parking brake lever (2)
whilst holding the button.
If the parking brake does not release
or does not release all the way, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
WARNING
• To prevent
movement when stopped and
leaving the vehicle, do not use
the shift lever instead of the
parking brake. Set the parking

lever is securely positioned in
1st (First) gear or R (Reverse)
for manual
equipped vehicles and in P
(Park) for automatic transaxle
equipped vehicles.
• Never allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If the
parking brake is released
unintentionally, serious injury
may occur.
• All vehicles should always
have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to

of the vehicle which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.
