Brake system
The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately 3 seconds after
the ENGINE START/STOP button is
ON.
During that time, the ABS will go
through self diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. Contact an
authorised Kia dealer as soon as
possible.
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and have operated your brakes con
-
tinuously, the ABS will be active
continuously and the ABS warning
light may illuminate. Pull your vehi
-
cle over to a safe place and stop the
vehicle.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS
warning light goes off, then your
ABS is normal. Otherwise, you may
have a problem with the ABS. Con
-
tact an authorised Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
vehicle may not run as smoothly
and the ABS warning light may turn
on at the same time. This happens
because of low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS has mal
-
functioned.
䳜 Do not pump your brakes!
䳜 Have the battery recharged
before driving the vehicle.
