Kia Stinger: Brake system / Parking brake – Foot type
Applying the parking brake
To engage the parking brake, first apply the foot brake and then depress the
parking brake pedal down as far as possible.
CAUTION - Parking brake
Driving with the parking brake applied will cause excessive brake pad (or
lining) and brake rotor wear.
Releasing the parking brake
To release the parking brake, depress the parking brake pedal a second time while
applying the foot brake. The pedal will automatically extend to the fully released
position.
WARNING - Parking brake use
- Never allow a passenger to touch the parking brake. If the parking brake
is released unintentionally, serious injury may occur.
- All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged when
parked to avoid inadvertent movement of the vehicles which can injure occupants
or pedestrians.
Check the brake warning light by turning the ignition switch ON (do not start
the engine). This light will be illuminated when the parking brake is applied with
the ignition switch in the START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on after the parking brake is released while
the engine is running, there may be a malfunction in the brake system. Immediate
attention is necessary.

use extreme caution while operating the vehicle and only continue to drive the vehicle
