WARNING

• To prevent unintentional move‐

lever in place of the parking brake.

Set the parking brake and make

sure the shift lever is securely

positioned in P (Park).

• Never allow anyone who is unfa‐

miliar with the vehicle to touch the

parking brake. If the parking brake

is released unintentionally, serious

injury may occur.

• 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.

CAUTION

• A click sound may be heard while

operating or releasing the EPB, but

these conditions are normal and

indicate that the EPB is function‐

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 vehicle

equipped with an anti-lock braking

system (or Electronic Stability Con‐

trol) may be longer than for those

without it in the following road con‐

ditions.

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.

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.

(Continued)

• The ABS warning light will stay on

for approximately 3 seconds after

the ignition switch 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 workshop. Kia

recommends to contact an author‐

ized 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 ve‐

hicle 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.

WARNING

Never drive too fast for the road

conditions or too quickly when cor‐

(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

cluding driving at safe speeds for the

Good braking practices

WARNING

• Whenever you leave or park your

vehicle, always set the parking

brake as far as possible and fully

engage the vehicle's transaxle into

the P (Park) position. If the parking

brake is not fully engaged, the ve‐

hicle may move inadvertently and

injure yourself and others.

• All vehicles should always have the

parking brake fully engaged when

parking to avoid inadvertent

movement of the vehicle which

can injure occupants or pedes‐

trians.

• Chück to bü surü thü parkinþ brakü is

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

1. Cruisü indicator
2. Cruisü süt indicator

Thü cruisü control systüm allows you to

proþram thü vühiclü to maintain a con‐

stant spüüd without prüssinþ thü accül‐

ürator püdal.

This systüm is düsiþnüd to ýunction

(20 mph).

WARNING

• If the cruise control is left on,

(cruise indicator light is illumina‐

ted), the cruise control can be

switched on accidentally. Keep the

cruise control system off when

the cruise control is not in use, to

avoid inadvertently setting a

speed.

• Use the cruise control system only

when traveling on open highways

in good weather.

• Do not use the cruise control when

it may not be safe to keep the ve‐

hicle at a constant speed, for in‐

stance, driving in heavy or varying

traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or

snow-covered) or winding roads or

over 6% up-hill or down-hill roads.

• Pay particular attention to the

driving conditions whenever using

the cruise control system.

• Be careful when driving downhill

using the cruise control system,

which may increase the vehicle

speed.

CAUTION

During cruise-speed driving of a

manual transaxle vehicle, do not

shift into neutral without depressing

the clutch pedal, since the engine

will be over-revved. If this happens,

depress the clutch pedal or release

the cruise control ON-OFF switch.
