• Restart the vehicle. 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 professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
vehicle 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 at individual wheels
and intervenes with vehicle manage‐
ment system to stabilize the vehicle.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cor‐
nering. 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.
