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
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

•When leaving your keys with parking lot attendants or valet, make sure to inform them how to operate the EPB
•Pull up and hold EPB switch for 3 seconds to increase brake pressure if parked on a decline or incline
•If parked on a steep incline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application
QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:
•
As a bulb check, the EPB malfunction indicator will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON
•
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
•The EPB should not be operated while the vehicle is moving
•
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

Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch
Transmission (DCT ) for automatic transmissions.
The following are unique driving tips for the Dual
Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline,
the service brake or parking brake MUST be
used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park
position. If the vehicle is held stationary by
applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the
clutch/transmission may overheat, resulting in
damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades
as this may result in an overheated clutch and
transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff
from standstill during aggressive acceleration
maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating, an amber warning
light* will be displayed in the instrument
clu s t er. Should this condition occur, pull over
and place the vehicle in Park and idle the
engine.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.

Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW)*†6a
Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW ) is a supplemental system that
is designed to assist the driver by chiming if any object is detected within
the sensing area to the rear and side of the vehicle when backing up.

If the vehicle is moving at speeds over 3 mph, the system may not activate correctly
•
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest one will be recognized first
Parking Distance Warning-Reverse is not a substitute for proper and safe backing-up procedures. Always drive safely and use caution when backing up. Parking Distance Warning-Reverse may not detect every object behind the vehicle.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
The PDW warning volume can be adjusted in the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings* on the audio head unit.
QUICK TIP
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist
(PCA)*†6a
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA) is designed to detect
certain objects/pedestrians behind the vehicle and issues an audible
warning and/or applies emergency braking to reduce the possibility of a
collision when the vehicle is in reverse.
PCA can be turned on in the User Settings in the instrument cluster or the
Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit by selecting Driver Assistance,
Parking Safety and then one of the following: Active Assist, Warning Only,
Of f.
When a potential collision is detected, the system applies emergency
braking for about two seconds. A warning message on the Instrument
Cluster will display A reminding the driver to press the brake
immediately.
REMINDERS:
•
PCA is operational when Active Assist is selected in the Vehicle Settings
•
PCA will only operate when:
– The vehicle’s speed is below 6 mph
