PARKING BRAKE
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
"clicks'' heard while 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, have the parking brake
adjusted by an authorized Kia dealer.
Stroke : 5~7 "clicks'' at a force of
44 lbs (20 kg, 196 N).
