Good braking practices
Good braking practices help to drive
safely and extend brake life.
僅 Check to be sure the parking brake is
not engaged and the parking brake
indicator light is out before driving
away.
僅 Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your vehi
-
cle will not stop as quickly if the
brakes are wet. Wet brakes may
cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do
so and call an authorized Kia dealer
for assistance.
僅 Don't coast down hills with the vehicle
out of gear. This is extremely hazard
-
ous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift to a lower gear so that vehi
-
cle braking will help you maintain a
safe speed.
