apply the foot brake and then depress
the parking brake pedal down as far

mended that when parking the vehicle
on an incline, the shift lever should be
in the P (Park) position.
Releasing the parking brake

depress the parking brake pedal a
second time while applying the foot
brake. The pedal will automatically
extend to the fully released position.
If the parking brake pedal does notrelease or does not release all the
way, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized kia
dealer.

applied will cause excessivebrake pad and brake rotorwear.
Do not operate the parking brake while the vehicle ismoving except in an emer- gency situation. It could dam-age the vehicle system andmake endanger driving safety.

Maintenance
Brake discs, pads, calipers
and rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
For more information on checking
the pads or lining wear limit, we rec-
ommend to refer to the Kia web site. (https://www
.kia-hotline.com)
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque. Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive free-play in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam-
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or dam-
age. Replace any damaged parts.
Power steering pump, belt and hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately. Inspect the power
steering belt (or drive belt) for evi-
dence of cuts, cracks, excessive
wear, oiliness and proper tension.
Replace or adjust it if necessary.Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant (if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam-
age.
