on, it indicates that the EPB may have
malfunctioned. If this occurs, have the
system checked by a professional work

shop. Kia recommends visiting an autho
-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
The EPB malfunction indicator may illu

minate when the ESC indicator comes
on to indicate that the ESC is not work
-
ing properly, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the EPB.
CAUTION
僅 The EPB warning light may illuminate
if the EPB switch operates abnormally.
Shut the engine off and turn it on
again after a few minutes. The warn

ing light will go off and the EPB switch
will operate normally. However, if the
EPB warning light is still on, have the
system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

does not illuminate or blinks even
though the EPB switch was pulled up,
the EPB is not applied. If the parking
brake warning light blinks when the
EPB warning light is on, press the
switch, then pull it up. Once more
press it back to its original position
and pull it back up. If the EPB warning
does not go off, have the system
