EPB malfunction

OMV043026

This warning light illuminates if the ENGINE START/STOP button is changed to the ON position and turns off in approximately 3 seconds if the system is operating normally.

If the EPB malfunction indicator remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the ENGINE START/STOP button is changed to the ON position, this indicates that the EPB may have malfunctioned.

Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

The EPB malfunction indicator may illuminate when the ESC indicator comes on to indicate that the ESC is not working properly, but it does not indicate a malfunction of the EPB.

WARNING

  • If the EPB warning light is still on, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

  • If the parking brake warning light should not illuminate or blinks even though the EPB switch was pulled up, the EPB is not applied.

  • If the parking brake warning light blinks when the EPB warning light is on, press the EPB switch, then pull it up. Once more press it back to its original position and pull it back up. If the EPB warning does not go off, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

When the EPB is not released

If the EPB does not release normally, load your vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck and have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
