Depress the brake pedal and pull up the EPB switch A Ensure that the indicator light is illuminated on the instrument cluster
If parked on a steep incline/decline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application

or shifted out of N (Neutral) to Reverse or D (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*
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
The Auto Hold indicator on the Instrument Cluster has four states:

All Wheel Drive System and AWD Lock Video
QR CODEDownhill Brake Control (DBC)†6AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Lock*
DBC helps drivers maneuver down steep hills by automatically applying braking inputs, allowing drivers to concentrate on steering
Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the AWD LOCK button B, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet pavement, snow-covered roads and/or on unpaved roads
•This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc , to improve traction
•This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and
is shifted to AWD AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below approximately 38 mph, however, the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered entirely to the front wheels This shock is not a mechanical failure
The DBC system is a supplemental system and does not replace the need for the driver to apply the brakes Pay at tention to road and traf fic conditions and be prepared to depress the brakes
Refer to section 5 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information
REMINDER: DBC defaults to OFF when ignition is cycled
•When on, DBC will turn OFF when but ton is pressed again or vehicle speed is over 38 mph
•If the red indicator illuminates, the DBC system may have malfunctioned Take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked
