2010 Kia Magentis 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
W-78
ABS
system
is
normal.
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.
