2008 Kia Rondo 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 having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and operate your brakes  continu-
ously, the ABS will be active  con-
tinuously  and  the  ABS  warning
light may illuminate. Pull your car
over to a  safe place and stop  the
engine.
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.
•  Restart   the  engine.  If   the  ABS
warning  light   is  off,   then  your
ABS
system
is
normal.
W-78
Otherwise, you may  have a prob-
lem  with   the  ABS.   Contact  an
authorized KIA dealer as  soon as
possible.
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.
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 is malfunctioning.
Do not pump your brakes!
Have  the   battery  recharged   before
driving the vehicle.
