parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. The warning light should go off
after a few seconds when the park-
ing brake is released.

2.With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required. Then check
all brake components for fluid
leaks. 3.Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are
found, the warning light remains on
or the brakes do not operate prop-
erly. Have the vehicle towed to any
authorized Kia dealer for a brake
system inspection and necessary
repairs.
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 work-
ing. If the brakes fail while you are
driving, shift to a lower gear for addi-
tional engine braking and stop the
vehicle 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 switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
CAUTION- Engine dam- age
If the engine is not stopped
immediately after the engine oilpressure warning light is illumi-nated and stays on while theengine is running, seriousengine damage may result.
