3.Do not drive the vehicle if leaks arefound, the warning light remains on
or the brakes do not operate prop-
erly. Have the vehicle towed to any
authorized Kia dealer for a brake
system inspection and necessary
repairs.
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail. With only one of the
dual systems working, more than
normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop
the vehicle. Also, the vehicle will not
stop in as short a distance with only
a portion of the brake system work-
ing. If the brakes fail while you are
driving, shift to a lower gear for addi-
tional engine braking and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
To check bulb operation, check
whether the parking brake and brake
fluid warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.D150312AAM
