Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if

by pressing the ESC OFF button. It
indicates that a malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the
Electric Power Steering system or
VSM system.
If the ESC indicator light ( ) or EPS
warning light remains on, have the
system checked by a professional

authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 15 km/h (9
mph) on curves.
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (18
mph) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu road. The split-mu road
is made of surfaces which have dif-
ferent friction forces.
WARNING
• The Vehicle Stability
Management system is not a
substitute for safe driving
practices but a supplemen-
tary function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. Always hold the steer-
ing wheel firmly whilst driv-
ing.
• Your vehicle is designed to
activate according to the dri-
ver’s intention, even with
installed VSM. Always follow
all the normal precautions for
driving at safe speeds for the
conditions – including driving
inclement weather and on a
slippery road.
• Driving with varying tyre or
wheel sizes may cause the
VSM system to malfunction.
When replacing tyres, make
sure they are the same size as
your original tyres.
