AUTO
HOLD
Auto Hold*
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at
a standstill even if the brake pedal is released.
Auto Hold can be turned ON/OFF using the
AUTO HOLD switch
B
on the center panel.
Before Auto Hold will operate, the driver’s door,
engine hood and trunk must be closed, and the
driver’s seat belt must be fastened.
The Auto Hold indicator has four states:
White: Standby - With vehicle in Park and at
a standstill, and AUTO HOLD switch
B
turned
ON, the indicator will illuminate white. While
driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill),
the Auto Hold indicator will remain white.
Green: Engaged - When coming to a complete
stop and depressing the brake pedal, the Auto
Hold indicator changes from white to green.
OFF (not illuminated) - The indicator will turn
OFF when the AUTO HOLD switch
B
is turned OFF or when the EPB is
manually turned ON.
Yellow: Malfunction - When the indicator is illuminated yellow, there may
be a system malfunction. Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer.
• When leaving your keys with parking lot attendants or valet, make sure to
inform them how to operate the EPB
• If parked on a steep incline/decline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3
seconds for a firmer EPB application
• Pull up and hold the EPB switch a second time to increase brake pressure if
parked on a decline or incline
