• Even with the anti-lock brake sys-

tem, your vehicle still requires suf-

ficient stopping distance. Always

maintain a safe distance from the

vehicle in front of you.

• Always slow down when cornering.

The anti-lock brake system cannot

prevent accidents resulting from

excessive speeds.

• On loose or uneven road surfaces,

operation of the anti-lock brake

system may result in a longer stop-

ping distance than for vehicles

equipped with a conventional

brake system.

✽

NOTICE

• If the ABS warning light is on and

stays on, you may have a problem

with the ABS system. In this case,

however, your regular brakes will

work normally.

• The ABS warning light will stay on

for approximately 3 seconds after

the ignition switch is ON. During

that time, the ABS will go through

self-diagnosis and the light will go

off if everything is normal. If the

light stays on, you may have a

problem with your ABS system.

Contact an authorized Kia dealer

as soon as possible.

✽

NOTICE

• When you drive on a road having

poor traction, such as an icy road,

and operate your brakes continu-

ously, the ABS will be active con-

tinuously and the ABS warning

light may illuminate. Pull your car

over to a safe place and stop the

engine.

• Restart the engine. If the ABS

warning light is off, then your ABS

system is normal. Otherwise, you

may have a problem with the ABS.

Contact an authorized Kia dealer

as soon as possible.
