Features of your vehicle
D150308AHM-EE
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still
have braking on two wheels even if one
of the dual systems should fail. With only
one of the dual systems working, more
than normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop the
vehicle. Also, the vehicle will not stop in
as short a distance with only a portion of
the brake system working. If the brakes
fail while you are driving, shift to a lower
gear for additional engine braking and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.

Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may

Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer

If the warning light remains on:

With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.

diately by an authorized KIA dealer.
If the engine coolant temperature warn-
