The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system utilizes an electric motor to engage the parking brake
Applying the Parking Brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull up the EPB switch A Ensure that the indicator light is illuminated on the instrument cluster
Releasing the Parking Brake*
The EPB will automatically release when the brake pedal is engaged and shifter is shifted out of P (Park) to R (Reverse) or shifted out of N (Neutral) to Reverse or D (Drive)
To release EPB manually, depress the brake pedal, then press the EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the on position Ensure that the indicator light is off
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even though the brake pedal is not depressed after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal Auto Hold can be turned on or off using the AUTO HOLD button B on the center panel below the gear shift Before Auto Hold will operate, the driver ’s door, engine hood and liftgate must be closed, and the driver ’s seat belt must be fastened
The Auto Hold indicator on the Instrument Cluster has four states:
White: Standby – When vehicle is in Park and at a standstill, and AUTO HOLD button B is pressed On, the indicator will illuminate white While driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will remain white
Green: Engaged – When coming to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal, the Auto Hold indicator changes from white to green
Off (not illuminated) – The indicator will turn off when the AUTO HOLD button B is manually pressed Off or when the EPB is manually turned on
Yellow: Malfunction – When the indicator is illuminated yellow, there may be a system malfunction Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)*
REMINDERS:
•
As a bulb check, the EPB malfunction indicator will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition switch is turned on
•
If the warning light does not illuminate temporarily, or continues to remain lit, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked
•The EPB should not be operated while the vehicle is moving
•
A click or electric brake motor sound may be heard while operating or releasing the EPB, but these conditions are normal and indicate that the EPB is functioning properly
•
If parked on a steep incline/decline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application
•
Pull up and hold EPB switch a second time to increase brake pressure if parked on a decline or incline
Auto Hold*
REMINDERS:
•
Auto Hold only operates when vehicle is in Drive, Neutral or Reverse Auto Hold turns off when ignition is cycled
•
To reduce the risk of an accident, do not activate Auto Hold while driving downhill, backing up or parking your vehicle
•
Do not solely rely on the Auto Hold system to keep the vehicle stopped Always pay at tention to traf fic and road conditions, and be prepared to depress the brakes
