2010 Kia Magentis Owners Manual

Features of your vehicle
D150308AUN
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
car. Also, the car 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
car as soon as it is safe  to do so.

tor  drive belt  for looseness  or  break-

soon as possible.
WARNING

With  the  engine  stopped,  check  the
brake fluid  level immediately  and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
Driving the  vehicle with  a  warning
light on  is dangerous.  If the  brake
warning light  remains on, have the
brakes checked and repaired imme-
diately by an authorized KIA dealer.
3.
Do  not drive  the  vehicle  if leaks  are
found, the warning light  remains on or
the  brakes  do  not  operate  properly.
Have the vehicle towed  to any author-
ized  KIA  dealer  for  a  brake  system
inspection and necessary repairs.
