If the EPB is applied while Auto Hold is
activated because of ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) signal, a warning will
sound and a message will appear.
EPB malfunction indicator (if
equipped)
OJF055056
This warning light illuminates if the en‐
gine start/stop button is changed to
the ON position and goes off in approxi‐
mately 3 seconds if the system is oper‐
ation normally.
If the EPB malfunction indicator re‐
mains on, comes on while driving, or
does not come on when the ignition
switch or the engine start/stop button
is changed to the ON position, this indi‐
cates that the EPB may have malfunc‐
tioned.
If this occurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
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 engine 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, we recom
mend that the system be checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.

If the parking brake warning light
does not illuminate or blinks even
though the EPB switch was pulled
up, the EPB is not applied.
If the parking brake warning light
blinks when the EPB warning light
is on, press the switch, then pull it
up. Once more press it back to its
original position and pull it back up.
If the EPB warning does not go
off, we recommend that the sys‐
tem be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal while driving, emergency braking
is possible by pulling up and holding the
EPB switch. Braking is possible only
while you are holding the EPB switch.
WARNING
Do not operate the parking brake
while the vehicle is moving except in
an emergency situation.
