Kia Cee'd: Vehicle stability management (VSM) / Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if you
don’t cancel the VSM operation by pressing
the ESC OFF button. It indicates that
a malfunction has been detected somewhere
in the EPS (Electronic Power
Steering) system or VSM system. If the
ESC indicator light (
) or EPS
warning
light remains on, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
✽ NOTICE
- The VSM is designed to function above approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) on curves.
- The VSM is designed to function above approximately 30 km/h (18 mph) when a vehicle is braking on a split-mu road. The split-mu road is made of surfaces which have different friction forces.
WARNING
- The Vehicle Stability Management system is not a substitute for safe driving practices but a supplementary function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead. Always hold the steering wheel firmly while driving.
- Your vehicle is designed to activate according to the driver’s intention, even with the VSM installed. Always follow all the normal precautions for driving at safe speeds for the conditions – including driving in inclement weather and on a slippery road.
- Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes may cause the VSM system to malfunction. When replacing tires, make sure they are the same size as your original tires.
