Kia Stinger: Parking Brake System / Electric Parking Brake (EPB)

Manually engage the parking brake by operating the EPB switch at stationary condition.

With the ignition switch ON, the parking brake is engaged by the Reduced Clamp Force at less than 8% of slope

Except for the above, it is always engaged by the Full Clamp Force.

Release the parking brake by manually operating the EPB switch at stationary condition.

To secure safety, it is only released with ignition switch ON and the brake pedal pressed.

Electric Controlled Deceleration (ECD)

: When operating the EPB switch while driving, the operation request is sent to VDC only during the switch operation, in order to perform hydraulic braking by the VDC, not by the EPB actuator.

Rear Wheel Unlocker (RWU)

: If the VDC is not normally operated (VDC Fail) by operating the EPB switch while driving and wheel speed information can be obtained, the EPB actuator will independently maintain the vehicle's movement safely to perform braking only during the switch operation.

Slow Ramp Up (SRU):

If the VDC is not normally operated (VDC Fail) by operating the EPB switch while driving and wheel speed information cannot be obtained, the EPB will independently increase the parking force gradually to perform braking only during the switch operation.

Stop the vehicle with the Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) switch ON, and then the EPB will be automatically applied when turning off the engine.

The parking brake will be automatically released when pressing the accelerator pedal with the EPB engaged.

To secure safety for automatic release, it will be automatically released only when all of the following conditions are met:

Engine turned on

Seatbelt fastened

Door, trunk and hood closed

To prevent the vehicle from being moved downwards on a slope way, it will be automatically released only when driving torque above specific level based on the slope has been obtained.

Additional EPB force is generated when a downward vehicle movement is detected after applying EPB force.

With the engine OFF, this function is enabled only while the wheel speed information can be received (i.e., for 3 minutes after the engine is turned off).

Condition for operation

(2) Auto hold function holds stop condition of the vehicle for maximum 10 minutes.

ESP valve keeps stop condition because of intercept the oil passage with pressure occurred from brake pedal.

(3) An accumulated time of auto hold operation : Max. 30min

(4) Automatic release function

Auto hold mode is released when driver starts to accelerate the vehicle by depressing pedal when in D/ S/ R gear range.

(5) Automatically convert auto hold to EPB

Auto hold will convert EPB operation automatically if any one satisfy conditions below.

[Normal conversion case]

When sensing detailed motion of the vehicle.

When sensing the fault of ESP hydraulic system.

EPB warning lamp comes on for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is ON. If EPB system is working properly, EPB warning lamp goes OFF

If EPB system is not working properly, EPB warning lamp comes ON

Under diagnosis mode, EPB warning lamp comes ON

AUTO HOLD switch ON

A. Brake system operates automatically when vehicle speed is “0”, in the case of parking or waiting at a red light, during braking (AUTO HOLD function lamp : Green)

B. Brake system is released automatically when step on the accelerator pedal. (AITO HOLD lamp : White)

AUTO HOLD switch OFF : AUTO HOLD function does not operate.
