EPB malfunction indicator
This warning light illuminates if the
P
ower button is changed to the ON po‐
sition and goes off in approximately
3 seconds if the system is operation
normally.
If the EPB malfunction indicator re‐
mains on, comes on while driving, or
does not come on when the ignition
switch or the POWER button is changed
to the ON position, this indicates that
the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
The EPB malfunction indicator may illu‐
minate
when the ESC indicator comes
on to indicate that the ESC is not work‐
ing properly, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the EPB.
CAUTION
• The EPB warning light may illumi‐
nate
if the EPB switch operates
abnormally. Shut the vehicle off
and turn it on again after a few
minutes. The warning light will go
off and the EPB switch will oper‐
ate normally. However, if the EPB
warning light is still on, have the
system checked by a professional
workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
• If the parking brake warning light
does
not illuminate or blinks even
though the EPB switch was pulled
up, the EPB is not applied.
