Vehicle driving controls
• A click sound may be heard in the vehicle compartment when the vehicle begins to
move after the vehicle is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that the
Electronic Stability Control system is functioning properly.
• 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.
• Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS or brake system operation.
• Select level 0 of the regenerative braking system and depress the brake pedal
around 10 times to efficiently apply brake disc cleaning.
• Brake disc cleaning may decrease the driving distance by restraining the regenera
tive braking system. After brake disc cleaning, the regenerative braking system may
be restored by selecting any other recuperation level other than 0.
• If the regenerative braking system is not restored after the brake disc cleaning, Kia
recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system will not activate, when the hazard warning
flashers are already on.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up in order to
steer and stabilize the vehicle.
If the ABS warning light ( ) stays on, contact a professional workshop as soon as
possible. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTE
• A click sound may be heard in the vehicle compartment when the vehicle begins to
move after the vehicle is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that the
Anti-lock Brake System is functioning properly.
• 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 hap
pens because of low battery voltage. It does not mean your ABS has malfunctioned.
◦ Do not pump your brakes!
◦ Have the battery recharged before driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is designed to stabilize the vehicle during cornering
manoeuvres.
ESC is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors such as speed, road condi
tions, and driver steering input can all affect whether ESC will be effective in prevent
ing loss of control.
