displayed onto the audio head unit screen.
Press A to turn SVM ON/OFF.

Drivers should not rely solely on the SVM information when parking and backing up. Drivers should always pay attention and directly check the left/right and rear.

Auto Hold
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even if 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 switch A on the center panel. 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.
Depress the brake pedal, start the engine and then press the AUTO HOLD
switch A. The white Auto Hold indicator will come on indicating the system is
in s t andby.
The Auto Hold indicator, which is in the instrument cluster, has four states:
White: Standby – When vehicle is in Park and at a standstill, and AUTO HOLD
switch A turned 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
switch A is manually turned 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:
§ 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.
