✽

NOTICE -

Warning lights

Make sure that all warning lights
are OFF after starting the engine. If
any light is still ON, this indicates a
situation that needs attention.

This warning light illuminates:

• Once you set the Engine Start/

Stop Button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 6

seconds and then goes off.

• When there is a malfunction with

the SRS.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized K900
Kia dealer.

Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light

This warning light illuminates:

• Once you set the Engine Start/

Stop Button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3

seconds

- It remains on if the parking brake

is applied.

• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the brake fluid level in the

reservoir is low.

If the brake fluid level in the reservoir
is low:

1.Drive carefully to the nearest safe

location and stop your vehicle.

2.With the engine stopped, check the

brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required (For more
details, refer to “Brake Fluid” in
chapter 7).
Then check all brake components
for fluid leaks. If any leaks in the
brake system is still found, the
warning light remains on, or the
brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle.
In this case, have your vehicle
towed to an authorized K900 Kia
dealer and inspected.

Dual-diagonal braking system

Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure are
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Driving the vehicle with a warning
light ON is dangerous. If the Parking
Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light
illuminates with the parking brake
released, it indicates that the brake
fluid level is low.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized K900 Kia
dealer.

When both ABS and Parking
Brake & Brake Fluid Warning
Lights are on, the brake system
will not work normally and you
may experience an unexpected
and dangerous situation during
sudden braking, thereby
increasing the risk of a crash
and injury.
In this case, avoid high speed
driving and abrupt braking.
Have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized K900 Kia dealer
as soon as possible.

Low tire pressure

• Significantly low tire pressure

makes the vehicle unstable
and can contribute to loss of
vehicle control and increased
braking distances.

• Continued driving on low pres-

sure tires will cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
