Kia Cee'd: Brake system / Good braking practices
		
		
		WARNING
	- Whenever you leave or park your 
	vehicle, always set the parking 
	brake as far as possible and fully 
	engage the vehicle's transaxle 
	into the P (Park) position. If the 
	parking brake is not fully 
	engaged, the vehicle may move 
	inadvertently and injure yourself 
	and others.
- All vehicles should always have 
	the parking brake fully engaged 
	when parking to avoid inadvertent 
	movement of the vehicle 
	which can injure occupants or 
	pedestrians.
 
	- Check to be sure the parking brake is 
	not engaged and that the parking 
	brake indicator light is out before driving 
	away.
- Driving through water may get the 
	brakes wet. They can also get wet 
	when the vehicle is washed. Wet 
	brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle 
	will not stop as quickly if the brakes are 
	wet.Wet brakes may cause the vehicle 
	to pull to one side.
 To dry the brakes, apply the brakes 
	lightly until the braking action returns to 
	normal, taking care to keep the vehicle 
	under control at all times. If the braking 
	action does not return to normal, stop 
	as soon as it is safe to do so and we 
	recommend that you call an authorized 
	Kia dealer.
- Do not coast down hills with the vehicle 
	out of gear. This is extremely hazardous. 
	Keep the vehicle in gear at all 
	times, use the brakes to slow down, 
	then shift to a lower gear so that 
	engine braking will help you maintain a 
	safe speed.
- Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting 
	your foot on the brake pedal while driving 
	can be dangerous because it can 
	result in the brakes overheating and 
	losing their effectiveness. It also 
	increases the wear of the brake components.
- If a tire goes flat while you are driving, 
	apply the brakes gently and keep the 
	vehicle pointed straight ahead while 
	you slow down. When you are moving 
	slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, 
	pull off the road and stop in a safe 
	place.
- If your vehicle is equipped with an 
	automatic transaxle, do not let your 
	vehicle creep forward. To avoid creeping 
	forward, keep your foot firmly on 
	the brake pedal when the vehicle is 
	stopped.
- Be cautious when parking on a hill. 
	Firmly engage the parking brake and 
	place the shift lever in P (automatic 
	transaxle) or in first or reverse gear 
	(manual transaxle). If your vehicle is 
	facing downhill, turn the front wheels 
	into the curb to help keep the vehicle 
	from rolling. If your vehicle is facing 
	uphill, turn the front wheels away from 
	the curb to help keep the vehicle from 
	rolling. If there is no curb or if it is 
	required by other conditions to keep the 
	vehicle from rolling, block the wheels.
- Under some conditions your parking 
	brake can freeze in the engaged position. 
	This is most likely to happen when 
	there is an accumulation of snow or ice 
	around or near the rear brakes or if the 
	brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the 
	parking brake may freeze, apply it only 
	temporarily while you put the shift 
	lever in P (automatic transaxle) or in 
	first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) 
	and block the rear wheels so the vehicle 
	cannot roll. Then release the parking 
	brake.
- Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade 
	with the accelerator pedal. This can 
	cause the transaxle to overheat. 
	Always use the brake pedal or parking 
	brake.
   The Emergency Stop Signal system

stop light when the vehicle is braked rapidly 
and severely.
