Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions.
The vehicle should be driven at
reduced speeds in the following cir-
cumstances:
When driving on rough, gravel orsnow-covered roads
When driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has differ-
ent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increases
the stopping distance for your vehi-
cle. The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergency
situation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Press your brake
pedal as hard as possible or as hard
as the situation allows the ABS to
control the force being delivered to
the brakes.

Driving your vehicle
Cancelled automatically
The driver's door is opened.
The shift lever is shifted to N(Neutral), R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
The EPB (electronic parking brake) is applied.
The vehicle speed is over 190 km/h (120 mph)
The vehicle stops on a steep incline.
The ESC, TCS or ABS is operat- ing.
The ESC is turned off.
The sensor or the cover is dirty or blocked with foreign matter.
When the vehicle is stopped for over 5 minutes.
The vehicle stops and go repeat- edly for a long period of time.
The driver starts driving by pushing the lever up (RES +) or down (SET
-), approximately 3 seconds after
the vehicle is stopped by the Smart
Cruise Control System with no
other vehicle ahead. The driver starts driving by
depressing the accelerator pedal
or move up the lever (to RES+) or
down(to SET-) if a vehicle stops far
away ahead of the your vehicle.
The accelerator pedal is continu- ously depressed for more than 1
minute.
Each of these actions will cancel
the ASCC operation.(the set speed
and vehicle to vehicle distance on
the LCD display will go off.)
In a condition where the ASCC is
cancelled automatically, the ASCC
will not resume even though the
RES+ or SET- lever is moved. Also,
the EPB (electronic parking brake)
will be applied when the vehicle is
stopped.
✽ NOTICE
If the ASCC is cancelled by other
than the reasons mentioned, have the
system checked by an authorized Kia
Premium dealer.
If the system is cancelled, the warn-
ing chime will sound and a message
will appear for a few seconds.
You must adjust the vehicle speed by
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.
Always check the road conditions.
Do not rely on the warning chime.
