2010 Kia Forte Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
NOTICE
CAUTION
A  click   sound  may   be  heard   in  the
engine  compartment  when  the  vehicle
begins to move  after the engine is start-
ed.  These  conditions   are  normal  and
indicate that the anti-lock  brake system
is functioning properly.
When  you  drive  on  a  road with
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and  have  operated  your  brakes
continuously,   the   ABS  will   be
active continuously  and the  ABS
warning light may illuminate.  Pull
your vehicle  over to  a safe place
and stop the engine.
•  Restart   the  engine.  If   the  ABS
warning light is off, then your ABS
system is normal.  Otherwise, you
may have a problem with the ABS.
Contact an  authorized KIA dealer
as soon as possible.
Even with  the anti-lock  brake system,
your  vehicle   still   requires   sufficient
stopping  distance. Always  maintain  a
safe distance  from the vehicle  in front
of you.
Always  slow   down  when   cornering.
The anti-lock brake system cannot pre-
vent  accidents  resulting  from  exces-
sive speeds.
On  loose   or  uneven  road   surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake system
may  result  in  a  longer  stopping  dis-
tance than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
W-78
CAUTION
If the ABS warning light  is on and
stays on, you may have a problem
with the ABS. In this case, howev-
er,  your regular  brakes  will  work
normally.
The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately  3 seconds after
the  ignition switch  is ON.  During
that time, the ABS will go  through
self-diagnosis and the light will go
off  if everything  is  normal. If  the
light  stays  on,  you  may  have  a
problem  with  your  ABS. Contact
an authorized  KIA dealer as soon
as possible.
NOTICE
When   you   jump   start   your   vehicle
because of a drained battery,  the engine
may not  run  as smoothly  and the  ABS
warning light  may turn  on at the  same
time.  This happens  because  of the  low
battery voltage.  It  does not  mean your
ABS has malfunctioned.
Do not pump your brakes!
Have  the   battery  recharged   before
driving the vehicle.
