Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) malfunction
N_CT25Z053

Electronic parking brake warning light ( ) will illuminate if the EV button is pressed to the POWER ON position and goes off in about 3 seconds if the system is operating normally.

If the electronic parking brake warning light ( ) remains on, comes on whilst driving, or does not come on when the EV button is pressed to the POWER ON position, this indicates that the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) may have malfunctioned.

If this occurs, have the system inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

The electronic parking brake warning light ( ) may illuminate when the ESC indicator comes on to indicate that ESC is not working properly, but it does not indicate a malfunction of EPB.

NOTE

  • If the electronic parking brake warning light ( ) does not illuminate or blinks after the EPB switch has been pulled, the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) may not be applied.

  • If the electronic parking brake warning light ( ) is still on or the parking brake warning light ( ) blinks when the electronic parking brake warning light ( ) is on, press the EPB switch, and then pull it up. Repeat this one more time. If the electronic parking brake warning light ( ) does not go off, have the system inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

When the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) does not release

If the EPB does not release normally, we recommend contacting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner by loading the vehicle on a flatbed tow truck and have the system inspected.
