Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Owner's Manual: Power brakes

Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal usage. In the event that the power-assisted brakes lose power because of a stalled engine or some other reason, you can still stop your vehicle by applying greater force to the brake pedal than you normally would. The stopping distance, however, will be longer. When the engine is not running, the reserve brake power is partially depleted each time the brake pedal is applied.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Owner's Manual: Auto defogging system

The auto defogging system operates when the heater or air conditioning is on.
