Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensa-
tion in the brake pedal. This is normal
and it means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergencysituation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes.Press your brake pedal as hard as
possible or as hard as the situation
warrants and allow the ABS to con-
trol the force being delivered to the
brakes.
✽✽
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehi-
cle begins to move after the engine is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system is functioning properly.
Even with the anti-lock brake sys- tem, your vehicle still requires suf-
ficient stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resulting from
excessive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
(Continued)
On roads where the road sur-face is pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS
(or ESC) equipped vehicle
should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (or Electronic
Stability Control system) may be
longer than for those without it
in the following road conditions. During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven atreduced speeds:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
With tire chains installed.

Driving your vehicle
✽✽NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warning light may turn on at
the same time. This happens because
of the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
 Do not pump your brakes!
 Have the battery recharged before driving the vehicle.
W-78
CAUTION
If the ABS warning light is on
and stays on, you may have aproblem with the ABS. In thiscase, however, your regularbrakes will work normally.
The ABS warning light will stay on for approximately 3 secondsafter the Engine Start/Stop but-ton is ON. During that time, theABS will go through self-diag- nosis and the light will go off ifeverything is normal. If the lightstays on, you may have a prob- lem with your ABS. We recom-mend that you contact anauthorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
When you drive on a road hav- ing poor traction, such as anicy road, and operate yourbrakes continuously, the ABSwill be active continuously and the ABS warning light may illu-minate. Pull your car over to asafe place and stop the engine.
Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light is off, then yourABS system is normal.Otherwise, you may have aproblem with the ABS. We rec-ommend that you contact an authorized Kia dealer.

on a flat road surface.
✽✽ NOTICE
 When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, ensure that the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated). If the ESC is left on,
it may prevent the vehicle speed
from increasing, and result in false
diagnosis.
 Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS or brake system operation.

CAUTION
Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the ESC systemto malfunction. When replacing tires, make sure they are thesame size as your original tires.
WARNING
The Electronic Stability Control
is only a driving aid; use pre-
cautions for safe driving by
slowing down on curved,
snowy, or icy roads. Drive slow-
ly and don’t attempt to acceler-
ate whenever the ESC indicator
light is blinking, or when the
road surface is slippery.WARNING
Never press the ESC OFF but- ton while ESC is operating (ESC

Hill-start assist control (HAC)
A vehicle has the tendency to slip
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start Assist
Control (HAC) prevents the vehicle
from slipping back by operating the
brakes automatically for about 2 sec-
onds. The brakes are released when
the accelerator pedal is depressed or
after about 2 seconds.
✽✽
NOTICE
 The HAC does not operate when the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
 The HAC activates even though the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
Good braking practices After parking the vehicle, check to
be sure the parking brake is not
engaged and that the parking
brake indicator light is out before
driving away.
Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your car
will not stop as quickly if the brakes
are wet. Wet brakes may cause the
car to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action
returns to normal, taking care to
keep the car under control at all
times. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it
is safe to do so and call an author-
ized Kia dealer for assistance.
Do not coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the car in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow
down, then shift to a lower gear so
that engine braking will help you
maintain a safe speed.
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 2 seconds, so when the
vehicle is starting off alwaysdepress the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Whenever leaving vehicle or parking, always set the park-
ing brake as far as possible
and fully engage the vehicle'stransmission into the park
position. Vehicles not fully
engaged in park with the park-
ing brake set are at risk for
moving inadvertently and
injuring yourself or others.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the car which can injureoccupants or pedestrians.

Malfunction indicator
The AVSM OFF indicator will illumi-
nate when the engine start/stop but-
ton is turned ON, but should go off
after approximately 3 seconds. If theindicator does not come on, or con-
tinuously remains on after coming
on for about 3 seconds when you
turn the engine start/stop button tothe ON position, or if the indicator
comes on while driving, the AVSM is
not working properly. We recom-
mend have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer. The AVSM OFF indicator may illu-
minate when the ESC indicator or
SCC indicator comes on, but itdoes not indicate malfunction of
the AVSM.
OKH053118
WARNING
The AVSM is not a substitute for
safe driving practices but a sup-
plementary function only. It isthe responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Even if there is a malfunction to the brake operating of the
AVSM, when you depress the
brake pedal, the brake is oper-
ating normally. But, the AVSMbrake operating does not
operate even in certain haz-
ardous situations.
The AVSM is designed to function above approximately
15 km/h (9.3 mph) and below
approximately 180 km/h (111.8mph).
The AVSM does not react to
- Persons or animals.
- Oncoming vehicles in theopposite lane or the vehicle
in the intersection.
- Stopped objects.
The AVSM can not detect the objects certainly, when:
- The sensors are stained withdirt or covered.

ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE

enhances fuel efficiency through eco control of
the engine and trans-
mission. The actual fuelefficiency will depend on
personal driving style
and habits.
MODE button andselecting ECO MODE,
green ECO indicator
light will illuminate. ECO MODE Driving:
The vehicle engine and transmission
will operate in fuel economy oriented
mode.
ACTIVE ECO MODE system will
restrain fuel economy worsening
driving habits, such as suddenly
starts and accelerations, compare tothe NORMAL MODE.
Conditions that limit Active ECO MODE:
Below are a list of conditions in which
when in ACTIVE ECO MODE, the
indicator light will not change, but the
internal system may operate differ-
ently.
When engine coolant temperature
is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is below the normal range, the
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable until the
transaxle oil heats up after vehicleignition.
When in an uphill gradient:
Since the ACTIVE ECO MODE
partially limits the engine torque,
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable when more
torque is essential for going uphill.
When using the manual transmis- sion operation mode:
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manual,
vehicle will reflect it and automati-
cally stop the ACTIVE ECO MODE.
