When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and have operated your brakes con
-
tinuously, the ABS will be active
continuously and the ABS warning
light may illuminate. Pull your vehi
-
cle over to a safe place and stop the
vehicle.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS
warning light goes off, then your
ABS is normal. Otherwise, you may
have a problem with the ABS. Con
-
tact a professional workshop as
soon as possible. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ser
-
vice partner.
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
vehicle may not run as smoothly
and the ABS warning light may turn
on at the same time. This happens
because of low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS has mal
-
functioned.
䳜 Do not pump your brakes!
䳜 Have the battery recharged
before driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is designed to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering manoeu

vres.
ESC applies the brakes on individual
wheels and intervenes with the
vehicle management system to sta

bilize the vehicle.
ESC will not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
manoeuvres and hydroplaning on
wet surfaces can still result in seri
-
ous accidents.
Only a safe and attentive driver can
prevent accidents by avoiding
manoeuvres that cause the vehicle
to lose traction. Even with ESC
installed, always follow all the nor

mal precautions for driving - includ

ing driving at safe speeds for the
