Good braking practices
• Check to be sure the parking brake is
not engaged and the parking brake
indicator light is out before driving
away.
• Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle
will not stop as quickly if the brakes are
wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle
to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the vehicle
under control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop
as soon as it is safe to do so and call
an authorized KIA dealer for assis-
tance.
WARNING
If the DBC red indicator light illumi-
nates, the system has overheated
or something is wrong. The DBC
will not activate. If the DBC red indi-
cator light illuminates even though
the DBC system has been cooled
enough have the system checked
by an authorized KIA dealer.
WARNING
• Whenever you leave or park your
vehicle, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transmis-
sion into the P (Park) position. If
the parking brake is not fully
engaged, the vehicle may move
inadvertently and injure yourself
and others.
• All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the vehicle
which can injure occupants or
pedestrians.
