press the EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the ON
position. Ensure that the indicator light is OFF.

If the warning light does not illuminate temporarily, or continues to remain lit, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked

A click or electric brake motor sound may be heard while operating or releasing the EPB, but these conditions are normal and indicate that the EPB is functioning properly

Auto Hold*
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a
standstill even though the brake pedal is not depressed
after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by
depressing the brake pedal. Auto Hold can be turned On/
Off using the AUTO HOLD button B on the center panel
below the gear shift. Before Auto Hold will operate, the
driver’s door, engine hood and liftgate must be closed,
and the driver’s seat belt must be fastened.
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument Cluster
has four states:
White: Standby - When vehicle is in Park and at a
standstill, and AUTO HOLD button B is pressed ON, the
indicator will illuminate white. While driving the vehicle
(vehicle is not at a standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will
remain white.
Green: Engaged - When coming to a complete stop
by depressing the brake pedal, the Auto Hold indicator
changes from white to green.
Off (not illuminated) - The indicator will turn Off when
the AUTO HOLD button B is manually pressed Off or
when the EPB is manually turned On.
Yellow: Malfunction - When the indicator is illuminated
yellow, there may be a system malfunction. Take your
vehicle to a local Kia dealer.
