High Performance Brake (if equipped)
As this vehicle is equipped with the High Performance Brake (large diameter brakes for enhanced braking performance), noise such as a squeal, squeak or groan in generated while braking. This is normal and the friction may create circle patterns on the disc surface. This is also a normal situation which does not affect braking performance.
-
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a continuous grinding or continuous squeal sounds are present, the brake lining may be worn out. Have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
-
If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Frequent speeding and braking may deform components and worn the disc brake causing vibration when braking. Prevent brake damage by avoiding excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration from excessive braking or deformation of the brakes caused by repeatedly braking in high speed, racing on tracks, etc. can be excluded from warranty coverage.
