PARKING BRAKE

Checking the parking brake

Type A
Check whether the stroke is within
specification when the parking brake
pedal is depressed with 30 kg (66 lb,
294N) of force. Also, the parking
brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
stroke is more or less than specified,
we recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorised Kia dealer.
Stroke : 8~9 notch
Type B
Check the stroke of the parking
OXM059013R
brake by counting the number of
"clicks'' heard whilst fully applying it
from the released position. Also, the
parking brake alone should securely
hold the vehicle on a fairly steep
grade. If the stroke is more or less
than specified, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
Stroke : 5~6 "clicks'' at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
