This warning light illuminates if the engine start/stop button is changed to
the ON position and goes off in approximately 3 seconds if the system is operation
normally.
If the EPB malfunction indicator remains on, comes on while driving, or does
not come on when the ignition switch or the engine start/stop button is changed
to the ON position, this indicates that the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
The EPB malfunction indicator may illuminate when the ESC indicator comes on
to indicate that the ESC is not working properly, but it does not indicate a malfunction
of the EPB.
CAUTION

Shut the engine off and turn it on again after a few minutes. The warning light

light is still on, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
