WARNINGS AND
INDICATORS
WARNING LIGHTS/
AUDIBLE INDICATORS
Checking Operation
All the warning lights, except the brake
warning light, are checked by turning the
ignition switch ON (you do not need to
start the engine). Any light that does not
come ON should be checked by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
If the brake system warning light does
not come ON when the ignition switch is
in the START position, have the system
checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are OFF. If
any are still ON, this indicates a situation
that needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go OFF.
Parking Brake and
Brake Fluid Warning
Parking brake warning
This light comes ON when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch
in the START or ON position. The
warning light should go OFF when the
parking brake is released.
Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains ON when
the parking brake is released, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains ON:
1. Drive to the nearest safe location and
carefully stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required. All brake
components should also be checked
immediately for fluid leaks.
3. If leaks are found, if the warning
light remains ON, or if the brakes do
not operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle. Have it towed to an
Authorized Kia Dealer or other
competent repair shop for a brake
system inspection and necessary
repairs.
WARNING - BRAKE WARNING
LIGHTS
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light ON is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains ON, have
the brakes checked and repaired
immediately.
To check bulb operation, the warning
light illuminates when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
