Driving your vehicle
✽✽
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine 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.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
W-78
CAUTION
• If the ABS warning light is on
and stays on, you may have a
problem with the ABS. In this
case, however, your regular
brakes will work normally.
• The ABS warning light will stay
on for approximately 3 sec-
onds after the ignition switch
is ON. During that time, the
ABS will go through self-diag-
nosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the
light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. We
recommend that you contact
an authorised Kia dealer.
CAUTION
• When you drive on a road hav-
ing poor traction, such as an
icy road, and have operated
your brakes continuously, the
ABS will be active continuous-
ly and the ABS warning light
may illuminate. Pull your vehi-
cle over to a safe place and
stop the engine.
• Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light goes off, then
your ABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a
problem with the ABS. We rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorised Kia dealer.
