Emergency braking

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. However, braking distance will be longer than normal.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, do not operate the EPB while the vehicle is moving except in an emergency situation. It could damage the brake system and lead to an accident.

TIP

During emergency braking, the Parking Brake warning light will illuminate to indicate that the system is operating.

NOTE

If you continuously notice a noise or burning smell when the EPB is used for emergency braking, have the system inspected by an authorized KIA dealer.
