n
W
arning lights
Make sure that all warning lights are
OFF after starting the engine. If any
light is still ON, this indicates a situa‐
tion that needs attention.
Air bag warning light
This warning light illumi‐
nates:
• Once you set the Engine
Start/Stop Button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately
6 seconds and then goes off.
• When there is a malfunction with the
SRS.
In this case, have the vehicle inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
Seat belt warning light
This warning light informs
the driver that the seat belt
is not fastened.
❈ For more details, refer to Seat
belts on page 3-21.
Parking brake & brake
fluid warning light
This warning light illumi‐
nates:
• Once you set the Engine Start/Stop
Button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately
3 seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake
is applied.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the brake fluid level in the res‐
ervoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is
low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required (For more de‐
tails, refer to Brake fluid on page
7-29). Then check all brake com‐
ponents for fluid leaks. If any leak
on the brake system is still found,
the warning light remains on, or the
brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle.
In this case, have the vehicle towed
to a professional workshop and in‐
spected. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diag‐
onal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required
to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion of
the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional en‐
gine braking and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
