Driving your vehicle Vehicle safety system
僅 A click sound may be heard in the
vehicle compartment when the vehi
-
cle begins to move after the vehicle is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the Electronic Stabil
-
ity Control system is functioning prop
-
erly.
僅When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESC is
turned off (ESC OFF light illuminated).
If the ESC is left on, it may prevent the
vehicle speed from increasing, and
result in false diagnosis.
僅 Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or brake system operation.
僅 Select 0 step of the regenerative
braking system and depress the
brake pedal around 10 times to effi
-
ciently apply brake disc cleaning.
Brake disc cleaning may decrease.
僅 Brake disc cleaning may decrease the
driving distance by restraining the
regenerative braking system. After
brake disc cleaning, the regenerative
braking system may be restored.
僅 If the regenerative braking system is
not restored after the brake disc
cleaning, Kia recommends visiting an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) prevents
the vehicle from rolling back by applying
the brakes automatically for approxi
-
mately 2 seconds (maximum of 5 sec
-
onds when the accelerator pedal is
slightly depressed during HAC opera
-
tion).
The brakes are released when the accel
-
erator pedal is engaged or after approxi
-
mately 2 seconds.
HAC does not replace the need to apply
brakes while stopped on an incline.
While stopped, make sure you maintain
brake pressure sufficient to prevent your
vehicle from rolling backward and caus
-
ing an accident. Don't release the brake
pedal until you are ready to accelerate
forward.
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the air bag deploys to reduce the
risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
System operation
僅 From the time the air bag deploys,
Multi-Collision Brake monitors the
depression intensity of the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal for a
short period. The system operates
when the following conditions are
met:
- Vehicle speed is under 180 km/h
(112 mph) at the time of collision.
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal are pressed only slightly .
僅 When the driver steps on the brake
pedal over a certain level while Multi-
Collision Brake is active, the braking
power takes priority over automatic
braking by Multi-Collision Brake sys
-
tem. However, if the driver takes his/
her foot off the brake pedal, Multi-
Collision Brake system will maintain
automatic braking.
