High performance brake: (if equipped)

As this vehicles equipped with the high performance brake (applied with material having high coefficient of friction), noise such as a squeal, squeak or groan is generated while braking. This is normal and the friction may create circle patterns on the disc surface. This is also a normal situation which does not affect braking performance.

WARNING

Frequent speeding and braking may deform components and worn the disc brake causing vibration when braking. Prevent brake damage by avoiding excessive braking. Brake wear, noise, vibration from excessive braking or deformation of the brakes caused by repeatedly braking in high speed, racing on tracks, etc., can be excluded from warranty coverage.

NOTE

  • Occasional brake noise is normal. If a continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake lining may be worn-out. Contact a professional workshop as soon as possible. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

  • If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, contact a professional workshop as soon as possible. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
