and AUTO HOLD button A turned 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 and
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 A is manually turned 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.
