Parking brake
Applying the parking brake
To engage the parking brake, first
apply the foot brake and then pull up
the parking brake lever as far as pos-
sible.
In addition it is recommended that
when parking the vehicle on a
incline, the shift lever should be in a
low gear on manual transaxle vehi-
cles.
Releasing the parking brake
To release the parking brake, first
apply the foot brake and pull up the
parking brake lever slightly. Secondly
depress the release button (1) and
lower the parking brake lever (2)
whilst holding the button.
If the parking brake does not release
or does not release all the way, have
the system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
