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.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, do not operate the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) while the vehicle is moving except in an emergency situation. It could damage the brake system and lead to an accident.
During emergency braking, the parking brake warning light 
will illuminate to indicate that the system is operating.
If you continuously notice a noise or burning smell when the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is used for emergency braking, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer or service partner.
