Driving your vehicle
326
Brake system
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS warning
light goes off, then your ABS system is
normal. Otherwise, you may have a
problem with the ABS. Contact an autho
-
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
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 bat
-
tery voltage. It does not mean your ABS
has malfunctioned.
僅 Do not pump your brakes!
僅 Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC system is designed to stabilize
the vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies the brakes on individual wheels
and intervenes with the vehicle manage
-
ment system to stabilize the vehicle.
ESC will not prevent accidents. Excessive
speed in turns, abrupt maneuvers and
hydroplaning on wet surfaces can still
result in serious accidents.
Only a safe and attentive driver can pre
-
vent accidents by avoiding maneuvers
that cause the vehicle to lose traction.
Even with ESC installed, always follow all
the normal precautions for driving -
including driving at safe speeds for the
conditions.
WARNING
For maximum protection, always wear
your seat belt. No system, no matter
how advanced, can compensate for all
driver error and/or driving conditions.
Always drive responsibly.
The ESC system is an electronic system
designed to help the driver maintain
vehicle control under adverse condi
-
tions. It is not a substitute for safe driv
-
ing practices. Factors including speed,
road conditions and driver steering input
can all affect whether ESC will be effec
-
tive in preventing a loss of control. It is
still your responsibility to drive and cor
-
ner at reasonable speeds and to leave a
sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply your brakes under con
-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a "tik-tik'' sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensa
-
tion in the brake pedal. This is normal
and it means your ESC is active.
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the vehi
-
cle compartment when the vehicle
begins to move after the vehicle is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the Electronic Stability
Control System is functioning properly.
