Driving your vehicle Brake system
Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable
as the brakes wear and does con
-
tribute to brake noise.
Parking Brake (Hand type) (if
equipped)
Applying the parking brake
To engage the parking brake:
1. Apply the foot brake and then pull
up the parking brake lever as far
as possible.
In addition it is recommended that
when parking the vehicle on a
incline, the shift lever should be in a
low gear on manual transmission
vehicles.
䳜 Driving with the parking brake
applied will cause excessive brake
pad and brake rotor wear.
䳜 Do not operate the parking brake
whilst the vehicle is moving
except in an emergency situation.
It could damage the vehicle sys
-
tem and make endanger driving
safety.

the parking brake lever slightly.
2. Depress the release button (1)

or does not release all the way, have
the system checked by a profes
-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer.
