40*IF EQUIPPEDK5 FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system utilizes
an electric motor to engage the parking brake.
Applying the Parking Brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull up the EPB
switch A. Ensure that the indicator light is
illuminated on the instrument cluster.
Releasing the Parking Brake
The EPB will automatically release when the
shifter is placed in Reverse or Drive.
To release EPB manually, depress the brake pedal, then press the
EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the ON position. Ensure
that the indicator light is OFF.
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 trunk must be closed.
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument
Cluster has four states:
White: Standby – With vehicle in Park and at a
standstill, when the 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.
REMINDERS:
• Auto Hold only operates when vehicle is in Drive or Neutral. Auto Hold turns off when the ignition is cycled
• To reduce the risk of an accident, do not activate Auto Hold while driving downhill, backing up or parking your vehicle
• Do not solely rely on the Auto Hold system to keep the vehicle stopped. Always pay attention to traf fic and road conditions, and be prepared to depress the brakes
