The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the vehicle during certain
cornering maneuvers. It is a good idea to keep the ESC turned on for
daily driving whenever possible.
Press the ESC OFF button B to turn Traction Control OFF/ON.
To turn OFF both the Traction Control and Stability Control, press and
hold for more than 3 seconds. Press it again to turn ON.
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when
accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline. The HAC automatically
activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when the
ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:

ESC is active by default at vehicle startup. When the ignition is cycled, ESC will turn ON again

The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate whenever the ESC is in operation
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

REMINDERS:
•HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position.
•In the event of HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for service

Instrument Cluster Illumination Control
With the parking lights/headlights ON, press the button A (+) or (-)
to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination.
REMINDER: The Instrument Cluster illumination Control does not adjust brightness on the audio head unit screens. Use the display settings in the Setup menu to adjust the brightness on the screen.

•When HAC is active (e.g., during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator – this is normal HAC operation. •HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards
