KIA Sorento 2006 - Manual (Page 132)

If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released,
there may be a malfunction in the
brake system. Immediate attention is
necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only contin-
ue to drive the vehicle until you reach
the first safe location or repair shop.
Parking on Curbed Streets
• When parking your vehicle on an
uphill grade, park as close to the
curb as possible and turn the front
wheels away from the curb so that
the front wheels will contact the
curb if the vehicle moves backward.
• When parking your vehicle on a
downhill grade, park as close to the
curb as possible and turn the front
wheels toward the curb so that the
front wheels will contact the curb if
the vehicle moves forward.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
(If equipped)
DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
4-34
WARNING - ABS Brakes
Your ABS is not a substitute for
good driving judgement.
You
can still have an accident. In
fact, your ABS system will prob-
ably not be able to prevent an
accident in the following driving
conditions:
• Dangerous driving, such as
neglecting safety precau-
tions, speeding, or driving too
close to the vehicle in front of
you.
• Driving at high speed in situa-
tions providing considerably
less traction, such as wet con-
ditions where hydroplaning
could occur.
