-
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the vehicle. Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working.
-
Ready Indicator READY
When the ready indicator goes OFF or blinks, there is a problem with the system. In this case, Kia recommends that you have your vehicle inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
-
Parking brake and brake fluid warning light
-
Driving the vehicle with a warning light ON is dangerous. If the parking brake and brake fluid warning light appears with the parking brake released, it indicates that the brake fluid level is low.
-
In this case, have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
-
-
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system warning light
-
When both ABS and parking brake and brake fluid warning lights are on, the brake system will not work normally and you may experience an unexpected and dangerous situation during sudden braking.
-
In this case, avoid high speed driving and abrupt braking. We recommend you have the vehicle inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner as soon as possible.
-
-
Safe stopping
-
The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tyre damage caused by external factors.
-
If you notice any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the accelerator pedal, apply the brakes gradually with light force, and slowly move to a safe position off the road.
-
-
Make sure that all warning lights are OFF after starting the vehicle. If any light is still ON, this indicates a situation that needs attention.
-
Power down indicator light
-
Do not accelerate or start the vehicle suddenly when the power down indicator light is ON.
When the power is limited for the safety of the high-powered parts of an electric vehicle, the power down indicator light appears. Your vehicle may not be driven, or may roll back on a slope with the indicator light ON.
-
-
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system warning light
-
When the ABS warning light is on or both ABS and Parking Brake and Brake Fluid warning lights are on, the speedometer, odometer, or tripmeter may not work. Also, the EPS warning light may appear and the steering effort may increase or decrease.
-
In this case, avoid high speed driving and abrupt braking. We recommend you have the vehicle inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner as soon as possible.
-
-
The Electronic Parking Brake EPB warning light may appear when the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) indicator light comes on to indicate that the ESC is not working properly (This does not indicate malfunction of the EPB).
-
Continuous driving with the LED Headlight warning light on or blinking can reduce LED headlight life.
-
If the icy road warning light appears whilst driving, you should drive more attentively and safely refraining from over-speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden braking or sharp turning, etc.
