Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) pre
-
vents the wheels from locking up in
order to steer and stabilize the vehicle.
If the ABS warning light ( ) stays on,
contact a professional workshop as soon
as possible. Kia recommends visiting an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 A click sound may be heard in the
vehicle compartment when the vehi
-
cle begins to move after the vehicle is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the Anti-lock Brake
System is functioning properly.
僅 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 because
of low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS has malfunctioned.
- Do not pump your brakes!
- Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is
designed to stabilize the vehicle during
cornering maneuvers.
ESC is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Factors such as speed, road
conditions, and driver steering input can
all affect whether ESC will be effective in
preventing loss of control.
Operating ESC
Operation
僅 Press the ESC OFF button for approxi
-
mately half a second to turn ESC off.
ESC OFF ( ) indicator light will illumi
-
nate and the warning chime will
sound.
僅 Press and hold the ESC OFF button
again for approximately 3 seconds to
turn ESC and traction control off. ESC
OFF ( ) indicator light will illuminate
and the warning chime will sound.
僅 To turn ESC on again, press the ESC
OFF button. ESC OFF ( ) indicator
light will go off.
僅 For maximum protection, always wear
your seat belt. No system, no matter
how advanced, can compensate for
all driver error and/or driving condi
-
tions. Always drive responsibly.
僅 Drive carefully even though your vehi
-
cle has Electronic Stability Control. It
can only assist you in maintaining
control under certain circumstances.
僅When ESC (electric vehicle control) is
deactivated, the vehicle will loose the
traction and stability if the vehicle is
driven by abrupt steering wheel con
-
trol. It is possible that the tire may
make a collision with the connected
parts of the tire. We recommend to do
not turn off ESC while driving the
vehicle for your safety.
