2010 Kia Magentis Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
The  Electronic   Stability  Control  (ESC)
system is an  electronic system designed
to help the driver maintain vehicle control
under  adverse   conditions.  It   is  not  a
substitute   for   safe   driving   practices.
Factors including  speed, road conditions
and  driver  steering  input  can  all  affect
in
preventing a loss of  control. It is still your
responsibility   to   drive  and   corner   at
reasonable   speeds    and   to   leave   a
sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply  your brakes under con-
ditions which  may  lock the  wheels, you
may  hear   a   “tik-tik’’  sound   from   the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the  brake pedal. This is normal  and it
means your ESC is active.
WARNING
Never  drive  too  fast  for  the  road
conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering.   Electronic stability  control
(ESC)  will   not  prevent  accidents.
Excessive  speed  in   turns,  abrupt
maneuvers   and  hydroplaning   on
wet surfaces can  still result in seri-
ous  accidents.   Only   a  safe   and
attentive  driver  can   prevent  acci-
dents  by avoiding  maneuvers  that
cause  the vehicle  to  lose traction.
Even with ESC installed, always fol-
low  all the  normal  precautions for
driving  -  including  driving  at safe
speeds for the conditions.

system to stabilize the vehicle.
