Emergency Braking; Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs) - Kia CEED Owner's Manual

Emergency braking

If there is a problem with the brake pedal
whilst driving, emergency braking is pos-
sible by pulling up and holding the EPB
switch. Braking is possible only whilst you
are holding the EPB switch.
WARNING
Do not operate the parking brake
whilst the vehicle is moving except
in an emergency situation.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
During emergency braking by the EPB,
the parking brake warning light will
illuminate to indicate that the system is
operating.
CAUTION
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used
for emergency braking, we recom-
mend that the system be checked
by an authorised Kia dealer.
When the EPB (electric parking
brake) does not release
If the EPB does not release normally, we
recommend that you take your vehicle to
an authorised Kia dealer by loading the
vehicle on a flatbed tow truck and have
the system checked.
Driving your vehicle

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or danger-
ous driving manoeuvres. Even
though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced
during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system (or Electronic Stability
`Control) may be longer than for
those without it in the following
road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at
speeds:
• Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• With tyre chains installed.
• On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
