Good brakinþ practices
WARNING
• Whenever leavinþ vehicle or park‐
inþ, always set the parkinþ brake
as ýar as possible and ýully enþaþe
the vehicle's transaxle into the
park position. Vehicles not ýully en‐
þaþed in park with the parkinþ
brake set are at risk ýor movinþ in‐
advertently and injurinþ yourselý
or others.
• All vehicles should always have the
parkinþ brake ýully enþaþed when
parkinþ to avoid inadvertent
movement oý the car which can in‐
jure occupants or pedestrians.
• Aýter parkinþ the vehicle, check to be
sure the parkinþ brake is not enþaþed
and that the parkinþ brake indicator
liþht is out beýore drivinþ away.
• Drivinþ throuþh water may þet the
brakes wet. They can also þet wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be danþerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly iý the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
liþhtly until the brakinþ action returns
to normal, takinþ care to keep the car
under control at all times. Iý the brak‐
inþ action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is saýe to do so and
have your vehicle inspected by a pro‐
ýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Don't coast down hills with the car
out oý þear. This is extremely hazard‐
ous. Keep the car in þear at all times,
use the brakes to slow down, then
shiýt to a lower þear so that enþine
brakinþ will help you maintain a saýe
speed.
• Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Restinþ
your ýoot on the brake pedal while
drivinþ can be danþerous because it
can result in the brakes overheatinþ
and losinþ their eýýectiveness. It also
increases the wear oý the brake com‐
ponents.
• Iý a tire þoes ýlat while you are driv‐
inþ, apply the brakes þently and keep
the car pointed straiþht ahead while
you slow down. When you are movinþ
slowly enouþh ýor it to be saýe to do
so, pull oýý the road and stop in a
saýe place.
• Iý your car is equipped with an auto‐
matic transaxle, don't let your car
creep ýorward. To avoid creepinþ ýor‐
ward, keep your ýoot ýirmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
• Be cautious when parkinþ on a hill.
Firmly enþaþe the parkinþ brake and
place the shiýt lever in ç (çark). Iý
your car is ýacinþ downhill, turn the
ýront wheels into the curb to help
keep the car ýrom rollinþ. Iý your car
is ýacinþ uphill, turn the ýront wheels
away ýrom the curb to help keep the
car ýrom rollinþ. Iý there is no curb or
iý it is required by other conditions to
