Emergency braking with the EPB switch

If there is a problem with the brake pedal while driving, emergency braking is possible by pulling up and holding the EPB switch.

Braking is possible only while you are holding the EPB switch.

WARNING

Do not operate the EPB while your Kia is moving except in an emergency. Applying the EPB while your Kia is moving at normal speeds can cause a sudden loss of control of your Kia. If you must use the EPB to stop your Kia, use great caution in applying the brake.

NOTE

During emergency braking by the EPB, the parking brake warning light will appear to indicate that the system is operating.

If you notice a continuous noise or burning smell when the EPB is used for emergency braking, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
