Driving safety features
WARNING
If the yellow DBC indicator light appears, the system may have overheated or have
malfunctioned. When the warning light appears even though the DBC system has
cooled off, have the vehicle checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTE
• The DBC may not deactivate on steep inclines even though the brake or accelerator
pedal is depressed.
• The DBC does not operate when:
◦ The gear is in P (Park).
◦ The ESC is activated.
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
• From the time the air bag deploys, Multi-Collision Brake monitors the depression in
tensity of the brake pedal and accelerator pedal for a short period. The system op
erates 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 hardly depressed.
• When the driver steps on the brake pedal over a certain level whilst Multi-Collision
Brake is active, the braking power takes priority over automatic braking by Mul
ti-Collision Brake system. However, if the driver takes his/her foot off the brake ped
al, Multi-Collision Brake system will maintain automatic braking.
System off
• Multi-Collision Brake is cancelled in the following situations:
◦ The accelerator pedal is depressed over a certain level.
◦ The vehicle stops.
◦ ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or electronic devices has malfunctioned.
◦ In a situation system cannot operate normally.
◦ Ten seconds have passed since the brake has been controlled automatically by
Multi-Collision Brake system.
