Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). Any light that does
not illuminate should be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
After starting the engine, check to
make sure that all warning lights are
off. If any warning lights are still on,
this indicates a situation that needs
attention. When releasing the park-
ing brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning
light will stay on if the fuel level is low.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
This light also comes on when the
Supplement Restraint System (SRS)
is not working properly. If the air bag
warning light does not come on, or
continuously remains on after oper-
ating for about 6 seconds when you
turned the ignition switch to the ON
position or started the engine, or if it
comes on while driving, have the
SRS inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the
ignition switch is turned ON and goes
off in approximately 3 seconds if the
system is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indi-
cates that the ABS may have mal-
functioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer
as soon as possible. The normal
braking system will still be opera-
tional, but without the assistance of
the anti-lock brake system.

tion (EBD) sys-
tem warning

In this case, your ABS and regular
brake system may not work normally.
Have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible.If the ABS warning light or EBD

dealer as soon as possible.Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver, the seat
belt warning light will blink for
approximately 6 seconds each time

when the ignition switch is turned on,
the seat belt warning light and the
seat belt warning chime will operate
for approximately 6 seconds. But if

seconds, the warning chime will turn
off and the warning light will blink for
the remainder of the 6 second peri-
od.
WARNING - ABS/brake
lights
If both ABS and Brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your
vehicle’s brake system will not
work normally during sudden
braking. In this case, avoid high
speed driving and abrupt brak-
ing. Have your vehicle checked
by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.

Engine oil pressure warning light
This warning light indicates the
engine oil pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while
driving:
1.Drive safely to the side of the road and stop.
2.With the engine off, check the engine oil level. If the level is low,
add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, call
an authorized Kia dealer. The oil pressure warning light comes
on whenever there is insufficient oil
pressure. In normal operation, it
should come on when the ignition
switch is turned on, then go out when
the engine is started. If the oil pres-
sure warning light stays on while the
engine is running, there is a serious
malfunction.

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 prop-
erly. Have the vehicle towed to any
authorized Kia dealer for a brake
system inspection and necessary
repairs. Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail. With only one of the
dual systems working, more than
normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop
the vehicle. Also, the vehicle will not
stop in as short a distance with only
a portion of the brake system work-
ing. If the brakes fail while you are
driving, shift to a lower gear for addi-
tional engine braking and stop the
vehicle 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 posi-
tion.Charging system warn-
ing light
This warning light indicates a mal-
function of either the generator or
electrical charging system.
If the warning light illuminates while
the vehicle is in motion:
1.Drive to the nearest safe location.
2.With the engine off, check the gen- erator drive belt for looseness or
breakage.
3.If the belt is adjusted properly, a problem exists somewhere in the
electrical charging system. Have
an authorized Kia dealer correct
the problem as soon as possible.

Auto stop indicator
(if equipped)
This indicator will illuminate when the
engine enters the Idle Stop mode of
the ISG (Idle Stop and Go) system.
When the automatic starting occurs,
the auto stop indicator on the cluster
will blink for 5 seconds.

(Idle Stop and Go) system in chapter
5.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, ESC or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of the low bat-
tery voltage. It does not mean the
system is malfunctioning.
