NOTICE
If the DBC red indicator light illu-
minates, the system may have over-
heated or have malfunctioned.
When the warning light illuminates
even though the DBC system has
cooled off, we recommend that the
vehicle be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
The DBC may not deactivate on
steep inclines even though the
brake or accelerator pedal is
depressed.
Do not turn on the DBC when
driving with shift lever in 3rd gear
(and above) for vehicles with man-
ual transaxle. The engine may stop
if the DBC system is activated.
The DBC does not operate when:
- The shift lever is in P (Park).
- The ESC is activated.
Good braking practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed.Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF
position.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.
