2007 Kia Sedona Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WARNING - ABS
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:
The ABS continuously senses the speed
of the wheels. If  the wheels are going  to
lock, the  ABS system  repeatedly modu-
lates 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  situa-
tion,  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 situa-
tion warrants  and allow the ABS  to con-
trol   the  force   being  delivered   to  the
brakes.
Dangerous
driving,
such
as
neglecting    safety   precautions,
speeding, or  driving too  close to
the vehicle in front of you.
W-75
Check the brake warning  light by turning
the ignition  switch  ON (do  not start  the
engine).  This   light  will   be  illuminated
when  the parking  brake  is applied  with
the ignition  switch  in the  START or  ON
position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is  fully released  and the  brake  warning
light is off.
If  the  brake  warning   light  remains  on
after the parking brake is released, there
may be  a malfunction  in the  brake  sys-
tem. Immediate attention is necessary.
If at  all possible, cease  driving the vehi-
cle  immediately. If  that  is  not  possible,
use extreme  caution while operating the
vehicle  and  only  continue  to  drive  the
vehicle until  you can  reach a  safe loca-
tion or repair shop.
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 in  poor  condition,
the   ABS   may  actually    reduce
braking effectiveness.
