Driving your vehicle Brake system
the ABS warning light may illuminate.
Pull your car over to a safe place and
stop the engine.
僅 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 the system checked by a profes
-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised 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 because of the low
battery voltage. It does not mean your
ABS is malfunctioning.
僅 Do not pump your brakes!
僅 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 vehi
-
cle during cornering manoeuvres. ESC
checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going.
ESC applies the brakes at individual
wheels and intervenes in the engine
management system to stabilize the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road condi
-
tions or too quickly when cornering.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) will not
prevent accidents. Excessive speed in
turns, abrupt manoeuvres and hydro
-
planing on wet surfaces can still result in
serious accidents. Only a safe and atten
-
tive driver can prevent accidents by
avoiding manoeuvres that cause the
vehicle to lose traction. Even with ESC
installed, always follow all the normal
precautions for driving - including driv
-
ing at safe speeds for the conditions.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is an electronic system designed
to help the driver maintain vehicle con
-
trol under adverse conditions. It is not a
substitute for safe driving practices. Fac
-
tors including speed, road conditions
and driver steering input can all affect
whether ESC will be effective in prevent
-
ing a loss of control. It is still your
responsibility to drive and corner at rea
-
sonable speeds and to leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
When you apply your brakes under con
-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensa
-
tion 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 vehicle
