Features of your vehicle

D150308AUN

Parking brake & brake fluid

warning light

Parking brake warning

This light is illuminated when the parking

brake is applied with the ignition switch in

the START or ON position. The warning

light should go off when the parking

brake is released.

Low brake fluid level warning

If the warning light remains on, it may

indicate that the brake fluid level in the

reservoir is low.

If the warning light remains on:

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.Then check all brake

components for fluid leaks.

3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are

found, the warning light remains on or

the brakes do not operate properly.

Have the vehicle towed to any author-

ized KIA dealer for a brake system

inspection and necessary repairs.

Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-

nal 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

car. Also, the car 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 engine braking and stop the

car as soon as it is safe to do so.

To check bulb operation, check whether

the parking brake and brake fluid warning

light illuminates when the ignition switch

is in the ON position.

Charging system warning

light

This warning light indicates a malfunction

of either the generator or electrical

charging system.

If the warning light comes on while the

vehicle is in motion:

1. Drive to the nearest safe location.

2.With the engine off, check the genera-

tor drive belt for looseness or break-

age.

3. If the belt is adjusted properly, a prob-

lem exists somewhere in the electrical

charging system. Have an authorized

KIA dealer correct the problem as

soon as possible.

WARNING

Driving the vehicle with a warning

light on is dangerous. If the brake

warning light remains on, have the

brakes checked and repaired imme-

diately by an authorized KIA dealer.
