Brake system
EPB may be automatically applied
when:
䳜 Requested by other systems.
䳜 If the driver applies the EPB while
the engine is ON then turn the
engine off, the EPB may be
applied again automatically.
If the driver turns the engine off by
mistake while Auto Hold (if
equipped) is operating, EPB will be
automatically applied. But if the
driver turns the engine off and push
the EPB switch in 1 second, the EPB
does not apply.
Emergency braking
䳜 If there is a problem with the
brake pedal while driving, emer
-
gency braking is possible by pull
-
ing up and holding the EPB switch.
Braking is possible only while you
are holding the EPB switch. If you
hand off the EPB switch, the
braking force is lost. If you hold
the EPB switch and the vehicle
stop, the EPB is applied.
䳜 The braking distance may be lon
-
ger than under normal braking
conditions.
During emergency braking by the
EPB, the parking brake warning light
will illuminate and the warning
sounds will occur to indicate that
the system is operating.
Do not operate the parking brake
while the vehicle is moving except in
an emergency situation. It could
damage the vehicle system and
endanger driving safety.
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used
for emergency braking, have the
system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends visiting
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
