EPB malfunction

OMV043026

This warning light appears 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, turns on while driving, or does not turn on when the ENGINE START/STOP button is changed to the ON position, this indicates that the EPB may have malfunctioned.

Have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

The EPB malfunction indicator may appear 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.

NOTE

  • If the EPB warning light remains on, have the system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

  • If the parking brake warning light does not appear or blinks even though the EPB switch was pulled up, the EPB is not activated.

  • If the parking brake warning light blinks when the EPB warning light is on, press the EPB switch and, pull it up. Press it back to its original position and pull it back up. If the EPB warning does not turn off, have the system 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.
