BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle's brake system is power-
assisted by the electric hydraulic pump.
In the event the brakes lose power be‐
cause of a brake control system mal‐
function, unstable power supply or
some other reason, you can still stop
your vehicle by applying greater force
to the brake pedal than you normally
would. The stopping distance, however
will be longer. Please have the system
checked as soon as possible.
If the brake pedal does not return to its
normal position when released, there
may be a malfunction in the brake sys‐
tem. In this case, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING

Brakes

• Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake tempera‐
tures, excessive brake lining and
pad wear, and increased stopping
distances.
• When descending a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid
continuous application of the
brakes. Continuous brake applica‐
tion will cause the brakes to over‐
heat and could result in a tempo‐
rary loss of braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehi‐
cle’s ability to safely slow down;
the vehicle may also pull to one
side when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will in‐
dicate whether they have been af‐
fected in this way.
Always test your brakes in this
fashion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, apply
them lightly while maintaining a
safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.

• Always, confirm the position of
the brake and accelerator pedal
before driving. If you don’t check
the position of the accelerator and
brake pedal before driving, you
may depress the accelerator in‐
stead of the brake pedal. It may
cause a serious accident.
NOTICE
• Do not depress the brake pedal
continuously without the " " in‐
dicator ON. The battery may be
discharged.
• Some noise and vibration may oc‐
cur during braking. This is normal.
• In below cases, some electric
brake pump noise and motor vi‐
bration may occur temporarily.
This is normal operation.
- When the pedal is pushed down
very quickly
