WARNING - Parking Brake
& Brake Fluid
Warning Light
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with
the parking brake released, itindicates that the brake fluid
level is low.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
Once you set the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake is applied.
When the parking brake is applied.
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminateswith the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low. If the brake fluid level in the reservoir
is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For
more details, refer to “Brake Fluid”
in chapter 8). Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks. If any
leak on the brake system is still
found, the warning light remains
on, or the brakes do not operate
properly, do not drive the vehicle.
In this case, have the vehicle
towed to a professional workshopand inspected. Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Dual-diagonal braking system
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 working.
If the brakes fail whilst you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

The Smart Parking Assist System
helps drivers park their vehicle by
using sensors to measure parallel
parking spaces, control the steering
wheel to semi-automatically park the
vehicle and provide instruction on
the LCD display to help through
parking.
✽✽
NOTICE
The vehicle will not stop for pedes- trians or objects that may be in its
path, so the driver must monitor
the manoeuvre.
Use the system only in parking lots and places used for parking.
The system does not work if there is no car parked in front of the park-
ing space you are planning to park
or if it is a diagonal parking space.
After parking your vehicle using the system, the vehicle may not be
parked at the exact spot you have
wished. For example, the space
between your vehicle and wall may
not be the distance you have desired.
Deactivate the system and park your vehicle manually, when the sit-
uation requires parking manually.
The Parking Assist System's front and rear warning sound activates
when the Smart Parking Assist
System is activated.
After searching for a parking space is completed, the Smart
Parking Assist System will be can-
celled if the Parking Assist System
is cancelled by pressing the button
to the OFF position.
