Brake over accelerator

If the accelerator pedal is stuck or entrapped, engage the brake pedal with steady and firm pressure to slow down your vehicle and reduce engine power. These systems are designed to provide priority to the brake pedal over the accelerator pedal.

If this happens, follow these steps:

  1. Engage the brake pedal and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
  2. Shift the gear to P (Park), turn OFF the engine, and apply the parking brake.
  3. Inspect the accelerator pedal for any interference.

If you do not find any interference and the accelerator pedal is still stuck, have your vehicle towed to an authorized Kia dealer.
