Vehicle stability management
(VSM) (if equipped)
This system provides further
enhancements to vehicle stability
and steering responses when a vehi-
cle is driving on a slippery road or a
vehicle detected changes in coeffi-
cient of friction between right wheels
and left wheels when braking.
VSM operation
When the VSM is operating:
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
( ) light will blink.
• The steering wheel may be con-
trolled.
When the vehicle stability manage-
ment is operating properly, you can
feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle.
This is only the effect of brake control
and indicates nothing unusual.
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving on bank road such as gra-
dient or incline
• Driving rearward
• ESC OFF indicator light (
)
remains on the instrument cluster
• EPS (Electronic Power Steering)
indicator light remains on the
instrument cluster
VSM operation off
If you press the ESC OFF button to
turn off the ESC, the VSM will also
cancel and the ESC OFF indicator
light (
) illuminates.
To turn on the VSM, press the button
again. The ESC OFF indicator light
goes out.
Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if
you don’t cancel the VSM operation
by pressing the ESC OFF button. It
indicates that a malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the
EPS (Electronic Power Steering)
system or VSM system.
If the ESC indicator light (
) or EPS
warning light remains on, have the
system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 22 km/h
(13 mph) on curves.
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph) when a vehicle is braking
on a split-mu road. The split-mu
road is made of surfaces which
have different friction forces.
