NOTICE
The DBC does not turn ON in the P

The DBC may not activate if the ESC
(or BAS) is activated.
Noise or vibration may occur from the

DBC is activated.
In a very steep hill even though the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal is
depressed the DBC may not deacti-
vate.
Always turn OFF the DBC on normal
roads. The DBC might activate from
the standby mode when abrupt corn-
ing or driving through speed bumps.

WARNING
•
Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle
will not stop as quickly if the brakes are
wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle
to pull to one side.
•
Whenever you leave or park your
vehicle, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transmis-
sion into the P (Park) position. If
the parking brake is not fully
engaged, the vehicle may move
inadvertently and injure yourself
and others.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the vehicle
under control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop
as soon as it is safe to do so and call
an authorized KIA dealer for assis-
tance.
•
•
All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the vehicle
which can injure occupants or
pedestrians.
WARNING
If the DBC red indicator light illumi-
nates, the system has overheated
or something is wrong. The DBC
will not activate. If the DBC red indi-
cator light illuminates even though
the DBC system has been cooled
enough have the system checked
by an authorized KIA dealer.
