Features of your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still
have braking on two wheels even if one
of the dual systems should fail. With only
one of the dual systems working, more
than normal pedal travel and greaterpedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the car will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working. If the brakes fail
whilst you are driving, shift to a lower
gear for additional engine braking and
stop the car 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 switchis in the ON position.Electric Parking Brake(EPB) malfunction indicator (if equipped)
The EPB malfunction indicator will illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is turned
ON, but should go off after approximate-
ly 3 seconds. If the warning light does not
come on, or continuously remains on we
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorised Kia dealer.
Also, the EPB malfunction indicator may illuminate when the ESC indicator comes
on to indicate that the ESC is not working
properly, but if this occurs, it does notindicate the EPB has malfunctioned.
For more details, refer to "EPB" in sec- tion 5.
Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light
This light illuminates if the ignition switch
is turned ON and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on whilst driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indicates
that there may be a problem with the
ABS.
If this occurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorised Kia
dealer. The normal braking system will
still be operational, but without the assis-
tance of the anti-lock brake system.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning light on is dangerous. If the brakewarning light remains on, we recom-mend that the system be checked by an authorised Kia dealer.

force distribution
(EBD) system
warning light
If two warning lights illuminate at the
same time whilst driving, your vehicle’s
ABS and EBD system may have mal- functioned.
In this case, your ABS and regular brake
system may not work normally. We rec-
ommend that the system be checked by
an authorised Kia dealer.
✽NOTICE
If the ABS warning light or EBD warn-
ing light is on and stays on, the
speedometer or odometer/tripmeter
may not work. Also, the EPS warning
light may illuminate and the steering
effort may increase or decrease. In this
case, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) indicator (if equipped)
The ESC indicator will illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned ON, but
should go off after approximately 3 sec-
onds. When the ESC is on, it monitors
the driving conditions. Under normal driv-
ing conditions, the ESC indicator will
remain off. When a slippery or low trac-tion condition is encountered, the ESC
will operate, and the ESC indicator will
blink to indicate the ESC is operating. But, if the ESC system malfunctions the
indicator illuminates and stays on. We
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorised Kia dealer.

The ESC OFF indicator will illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned ON,
but should go off after approximately 3
seconds. To switch to ESC OFF mode,
press the ESC OFF button. The ESCOFF indicator will illuminate indicating

WARNING
If both ABS and Brake warning lights are on and stay on, your vehi-cle’s brake system will not worknormally. So you may experiencean unexpected and dangerous situ-ation during sudden braking. In thiscase, avoid high speed driving and abrupt braking except an emer- gency situation. We recommend that the system be checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
