Driving your vehicle
Power brakes
Your vehicle's brake system is power-
assisted by the electric hydraulic
pump.
In the event the brakes lose power
because of a brake control system
malfunction, 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, howev-
er will be longer. Please have the sys-
tem 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 system. In this case, have the
system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING
- Brakes
• Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, 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 applica-
tion of the brakes. Continuous
brake application will cause
the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary
loss of braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle’s ability to safely slow
down;
the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way.

(Continued)
Always test your brakes in
this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, apply them lightly
whilst maintaining a safe for-
ward speed until brake per-
formance 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
instead of the brake pedal. It
may cause a serious accident.
