Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

WARNING

ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci‐

dents due to improper or dangerous

driving maneuvers. Even though ve‐

hicle control is improved during

emergency braking, always maintain

a safe distance between you and ob‐

jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should

always be reduced during extreme

road conditions.

The braking distance for cars equip‐

ped with an anti-lock braking sys‐

tem (or Electronic Stability Control

system) may be longer than for

those without it in the following

road conditions.

During these conditions the vehicle

should be driven at reduced speeds:

• Rough, gravel or snow-covered

roads.

• With tire chains installed.
• On roads where the road surface is

pitted or has different surface

height.

(Continued)

5-35

Driving your v

ehicle

(Continued)

The safety features of an ABS (or

ESC) equipped vehicle should not be

tested by high speed driving or cor‐

nering. This could endanger the

safety of yourself or others.

The ABS continuously senses the speed

of the wheels. If the wheels are going

to lock, the ABS system repeatedly

modulates the hydraulic brake pressure

to the wheels.

When you apply your brakes under

conditions which may lock the wheels,

you may hear a tik-tik’’ sound from

the brakes, or feel a corresponding sen‐

sation in the brake pedal. This is normal

and it means your ABS is active.

In order to obtain the maximum benefit

from your ABS in an emergency situa‐

tion, do not attempt to modulate your

brake pressure and do not try to pump

your brakes.

Press your brake pedal as hard as pos‐

sible or as hard as the situation war‐

rants and allow the ABS to control the

force being delivered to the brakes.

NOTICE

A click sound may be heard in the

engine compartment when the vehi‐

cle begins to move after the engine

is started. These conditions are nor‐

mal and indicate that the anti-lock

brake system is functioning proper‐

ly.

• Even with the anti-lock brake sys‐

tem, your vehicle still requires suffi‐

cient stopping distance. Always main‐

tain a safe distance from the vehicle

in front of you.

• Always slow down when cornering.

The anti-lock brake system cannot

prevent accidents resulting from ex‐

cessive speeds.

• On loose or uneven road surfaces, op‐

eration of the anti-lock brake system

may result in a longer stopping dis‐

tance than for vehicles equipped with

a conventional brake system.

CAUTION

• If the ABS warning light is on and

stays on, you may have a problem

with the ABS. In this case, howev‐

er, your regular brakes will work

normally.

(Continued)

Driving your vehicle

5-36

(Continued)

• The ABS warning light will stay on

for approximately 3 seconds after

the Engine Start/Stop button is

ON. During that time, the ABS will

go through self-diagnosis and the

light will go off if everything is

normal. If the light stays on, you

may have a problem with your

ABS. In this case, have your vehicle

inspected by a professional work‐

shop. Kia recommends to contact

an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

CAUTION

• When you drive on a road having

poor traction, such as an icy road,

and operate your brakes continu‐

ously, the ABS will be active con‐

tinuously and the ABS warning

light may illuminate. Pull your car

over to a safe place and stop the

engine.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Restart the engine. If the ABS

warning light is off, then your ABS

system is normal. Otherwise, you

may have a problem with the ABS.

In this case, have your vehicle in‐

spected by a professional work‐

shop. Kia recommends to contact

an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

NOTICE

When you jump start your vehicle

because of a drained battery, the

engine may not run as smoothly and

the ABS warning light may turn on

at the same time. This happens be‐

cause of the low battery voltage. It

does not mean your ABS is malfunc‐

tioning.

• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before

driving the vehicle.

Electronic stability control (ESC)

(if equipped)

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system is designed to stabilize the ve‐

hicle during cornering maneuvers. ESC

checks where you are steering and

where the vehicle is actually going. ESC

applies the brakes on individual wheels

and intervenes with the engine man‐

agement system to stabilize the vehi‐

cle.

5-37

5

Driving your v

ehicle

WARNING

Never drive too fast according to the

road conditions or too quickly when

cornering. Electronic Stability Control

(ESC) will not prevent accidents. Ex‐

cessive speed in turns, abrupt ma‐

neuvers and hydroplaning on wet

surfaces can still result in serious ac‐

cidents. Only a safe and attentive

driver can prevent accidents by

avoiding maneuvers that cause the

vehicle to lose traction. Even with

ESC installed, always follow all the

normal precautions for driving - in‐

cluding driving at safe speeds for the

conditions.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system is an electronic system de‐

signed to help the driver maintain vehi‐

cle control under adverse conditions. It

is not a substitute for safe driving

practices. Factors including speed, road

conditions and driver steering input can

all affect whether ESC will be effective

in preventing a loss of control. It is still

your responsibility to drive and corner

at reasonable speeds and to leave a

sufficient margin of safety.

When you apply your brakes under

conditions which may lock the wheels,

you may hear a tik-tik’’ sound from

the brakes, or feel a corresponding sen‐

sation in the brake pedal. This is normal

and it means your ESC is active.

NOTICE

A click sound may be heard in the

engine compartment when the vehi‐

cle begins to move after the engine

is started. These conditions are nor‐

mal and indicate that the Electronic

Stability Control System is function‐

ing properly.

ESC operation

ESC ON condition

• When the Engine Start/Stop

button is in the ON position,

ESC and ESC OFF indicator

lights illuminate for approx‐

imately 3 seconds, then ESC

is turned on.

• Press the ESC OFF button

for at least half a second

after placing the Engine

Start/Stop button to the

ON position to turn ESC off.

(ESC OFF indicator will illu‐

minate). To turn the ESC on,

press the ESC OFF button

(ESC OFF indicator light will

go off).

• When starting the engine,

you may hear a slight tick‐

ing sound. This is the ESC

performing an automatic

system self-check and does

not indicate a problem.

Driving your vehicle

5-38

When operating

When the ESC is in operation,

the ESC indicator light blinks.

• When the Electronic Stabili‐

ty Control is operating

properly, you can feel a

slight pulsation in the vehi‐

cle. This is only the effect

of brake control and indi‐

cates nothing unusual.

• When moving out of the

mud or slippery road,

pressing the accelerator

pedal may not cause the

engine rpm (revolutions per

minute) to increase.

ESC operation off

ESC OFF state

This car has 2 kinds of ESC

off states.

If the engine stops when ESC

is off, ESC remains off. Upon

restarting the engine, the ESC

will automatically turn on

again.

• ESC off state 1

To cancel ESC operation, press the

ESC OFF button (ESC OFF ) shortly

(ESC OFF indicator light (ESC OFF )

illuminates). At this state, the engine

control function does not operate. It

means the traction control function

does not operate. Brake control func‐

tion only operates.

• ESC off state 2

To cancel ESC operation, press the

ESC OFF button (ESC OFF

) for

more than 3 seconds. ESC OFF indica‐

tor light (ESC OFF ) illuminates and

ESC OFF warning chime will sound. At

this state, the engine control function

and brake control function do not op‐

erate. It means the car stability con‐

trol function does not operate any

more.

Indicator light

When Engine Start/Stop button is

pressed is turned to the ON position,

the indicator light illuminates, then

goes off if the ESC system is operating

normally.

The ESC indicator light blinks whenever

ESC is operating or illuminates when

ESC fails to operate.

ESC OFF indicator light comes on when

the ESC is turned off with the button.

CAUTION

Driving with varying tire or wheel

sizes may cause the ESC system to

malfunction. When replacing tires,

make sure they are the same size as

your original tires.

WARNING

The Electronic Stability Control is on‐

ly a driving aid; use precautions for

safe driving by slowing down on

curved, snowy, or icy roads. Drive

slowly and don’t attempt to acceler‐

ate whenever the ESC indicator light

is blinking, or when the road surface

is slippery.

ESC OFF usage

When driving

• ESC should be turned on for daily

driving whenever possible.

• To turn ESC off while driving, press

the ESC OFF button while driving on a

flat road surface.

WARNING

Never press the ESC OFF button

while ESC is operating (ESC indicator

light blinks).

If ESC is turned off while ESC is op‐

erating, the vehicle may slip out of

control.

NOTICE

• When operating the vehicle on a

dynamometer, ensure that the

ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light il‐

luminated). If the ESC is left on, it

may prevent the vehicle speed

from increasing, and result in false

diagnosis.

• Turning the ESC off does not af‐

fect ABS or brake system opera‐

tion.

Driving your vehicle

Hill-start assist control (HAC)

A vehicle has the tendency to slip back

on a steep hill when it starts to go af‐

ter stopping. The Hill-start Assist Con‐

trol (HAC) prevents the vehicle from

slipping back by operating the brakes

automatically for about 2 seconds. The

brakes are released when the accelera‐

tor pedal is depressed or after about

2 seconds.

WARNING

The HAC is activated only for about

2 seconds, so when the vehicle is

starting off always depress the ac‐

celerator pedal.

NOTICE

• The HAC does not operate when

the transaxle shift lever is in the P

(Park) or N (Neutral) position.

• The HAC activates even though

the ESC is off but it does not acti‐

vate when the ESC has malfunc‐

tioned.

Good braking practices

WARNING

• Whenever leaving vehicle or park‐

ing, always set the parking brake

as far as possible and fully engage

the vehicle's transmission into the

park position. Vehicles not fully en‐

gaged in park with the parking

brake set are at risk for moving in‐

advertently and injuring yourself

or others.

• All vehicles should always have the

parking brake fully engaged when

parking to avoid inadvertent

movement of the car which can in‐

jure occupants or pedestrians.

• After parking the vehicle, check to be

sure the parking brake is not engaged

and that the parking brake indicator

light is out before driving away.

• Driving through water may get the

brakes wet. They can also get wet

when the car is washed. Wet brakes

can be dangerous! Your car will not

stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.

Wet brakes may cause the car to pull

to one side.

To dry the brakes, apply the brakes

lightly until the braking action returns

to normal, taking care to keep the car

under control at all times. If the brak‐

ing action does not return to normal,

stop as soon as it is safe to do so and

have your vehicle inspected by a pro‐

fessional workshop. Kia recommends

to call an authorized Kia dealer/serv‐

ice partner.

• Do not coast down hills with the car

out of gear. This is extremely hazard‐

ous. Keep the car in gear at all times,

use the brakes to slow down, then

shift to a lower gear so that engine

braking will help you maintain a safe

speed.

• Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting

your foot on the brake pedal while

driving can be dangerous because it

can result in the brakes overheating

and losing their effectiveness. It also

increases the wear of the brake com‐

ponents.

5-41

5

Driving your v

ehicle

• If a tire goes flat while you are driv‐

ing, apply the brakes gently and keep

the car pointed straight ahead while

you slow down. When you are moving

slowly enough for it to be safe to do

so, pull off the road and stop in a

safe place.

• If your car is equipped with an auto‐

matic transmission, don't let your car

creep forward. To avoid creeping for‐

ward, keep your foot firmly on the

brake pedal when the car is stopped.

• Be cautious when parking on a hill.

Firmly engage the parking brake and

place the shift lever in P (Park). If

your car is facing downhill, turn the

front wheels into the curb to help

keep the car from rolling. If your car

is facing uphill, turn the front wheels

away from the curb to help keep the

car from rolling. If there is no curb or

if it is required by other conditions to

keep the car from rolling, block the

wheels.

• Under some conditions your parking

brake can freeze in the engaged posi‐

tion. This is most likely to happen

when there is an accumulation of

snow or ice around or near the rear

brakes or if the brakes are wet. If

there is a risk that the parking brake

may freeze, apply it only temporarily

while you put the shift lever in P

(Park) and block the rear wheels so

the car cannot roll. Then release the

parking brake.

• Do not hold the vehicle on the up‐

grade with the accelerator pedal. This

can cause the transmission to over‐

heat. Always use the brake pedal or

parking brake.

ADVANCED VEHICLE SAFETY MANAGEMENT (AVSM) (IF EQUIPPED)

AVSM detects the distance from the

vehicle ahead with the sensor, to warn

you before collision and protect you in

certain hazardous situations by using

warning message, warning sound and

seat belt vibration.
❈

The seat belt vibration is a optional

function.

• If the AVSM senses the object ahead

too near the vehicle and if driver's op‐

erating of the brake pedal or the

steering wheel should be needed, the

warning light illuminates.

Immediately reduce your speed.

• If the AVSM senses more dangerous,

the warning sound also operates and

the seat belt vibrates. Immediately

reduce your speed.

❈

The seat belt vibration is a optional

function.

CAUTION

Always check the road conditions to

prevent danger even if the warning

light does not illuminate, the warn‐

ing sound does not operate or the

accelerator pedal/seat belt does not

vibrate.

Brake operating

• If the AVSM senses the collision, the

brake system comes to standard

mode to react promptly when the

driver operates the brake pedal.

• If the driver releases the accelerator

after warning in hazardous situa‐

tions, the AVSM automatically brakes

the vehicle gently.

• If the driver hits the brake to reduce

vehicle speed, the brake assistant

system operates to raise efficiency

of braking.

• If danger disappears, if the driver de‐

presses the accelerator or if the driv‐

er releases the brake pedal, the brake

operating stop.

WARNING

The AVSM does not stop the vehicle

completely and does not avoid colli‐

sion. Always look ahead cautiously to

prevent unexpected and sudden sit‐

uations from occurring.

Seat belt operating (if equipped)

The seat belt tightens when the vehicle

senses a collision.

WARNING

The AVSM operates according to the

distance from the vehicle ahead, rel‐

ative velocity and driver's operation

of the brake or accelerator pedal. Do

not drive dangerously to operate the

AVSM.

Malfunction indicator

• The AVSM OFF indicator will illumi‐

nate when the engine start/stop but‐

ton is turned ON, but should go off

after approximately 3 seconds. If the

indicator does not come on, or con‐

tinuously remains on after coming on

for about 3 seconds when you turn

the engine start/stop button to the

ON position, or if the indicator comes

on while driving, the AVSM is not

working properly. In this case, have

the system checked by a professional

workshop. Kia recommends to visit

an authorized Kia dealer/ service

partner.

• The AVSM OFF indicator may illumi‐

nate when the ESC indicator or SCC

indicator comes on, but it does not in‐

dicate malfunction of the AVSM.

WARNING

The AVSM is not a substitute for

safe driving practices but a supple‐

mentary function only. It is the re‐

sponsibility of the driver to always

check the speed and the distance to

the vehicle ahead.

WARNING

• Even if there is a malfunction to

the brake operating of the AVSM,

when you depress the brake pedal,

the brake is operating normally.

But, the AVSM brake operating

does not operate even in certain

hazardous situations.

• The AVSM is designed to function

above approximately 15 km/h and

below approximately 180 km/h .

• The AVSM does not react to
