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/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:

HOLD button B 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 depressing 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.
REMINDERS:
•
Auto Hold only operates when vehicle is in Drive or Neutral
•
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 attention to traf fic and road conditions, and be prepared to depress the brakes

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)†8All Wheel Drive (AWD) System*
DBC helps drivers maneuver down steep hills by automatically
applying braking inputs, allowing drivers to concentrate on
steering.
Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF.
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the AWD
LOCK button B, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet
pavement, snow-covered roads and/or on unpaved roads.
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads,
driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve traction
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and is shifted
to AWD AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph. If the vehicle decelerates to speeds
below approximately 38 mph, however, the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK
mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is
delivered entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a mechanical failure.
The AWD system is a supplemental system only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully depending on road and traffic conditions.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
