2007 Kia Rio Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Parking on curbed streets
Anti-lock brakesystem   (ABS)
The ABS continuously senses the speed
of the wheels. If the wheels are going to
lock, the ABS repeatedly modulates the
hydraulic brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may  hear   a  “tik-tik’’   sound  from   the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the brake pedal.  This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
In  order  to  obtain  the  maximum  benefit
from your ABS in an emergency situation,
do  not  attempt  to  modulate  your  brake
pressure  and  do  not  try  to  pump  your
brakes. Press your brake pedal as hard
as  possible  or  as  hard  as  the  situation
warrants and allow the ABS to control the
force being delivered to the brakes.
(if equipped)
When parking your vehicle on an uphill
grade,  park  as  close  to  the  curb  as
possible  and   turn  the   front  wheels
away  from  the  curb  so  that  the  front
wheels will contact the curb if the vehi-
cle moves backward.
WARNING - ABS  Brakes
Your  ABS  is  not   a substitute   for
good  driving  judgement.  You  can
still have an accident.   In fact, your
ABS  will  probably  not  be  able  to
prevent an accident in the following
driving conditions:
When parking your vehicle on a down-
hill grade, park as close to the curb as
possible  and   turn  the   front  wheels
toward   the  curb   so   that  the   front
wheels will contact the curb if the vehi-
cle moves forward.
Dangerous    driving,  such     as
neglecting  safety   precautions,
speeding, or driving too close to
the vehicle in front of you.
Driving  at  high speed    in situa-
tions providing considerably less
traction, such  as wet  conditions
where hydroplaning could occur.
Driving too fast on poor road sur-
faces.   The  ABS  is  designed  to
improve maximum braking effec-
tiveness on typical highways and
roads in good condition. On poor
road surfaces, the ABS may actu-
ally reduce braking effectiveness.
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.
