Kia EV2: Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) / EPB malfunction indicator

If your Kia EV2 is in POWER ON position, and the vehicle turns off after approximately 3 seconds whilst the system is operating normally, the following warning light appears.

If the EPB malfunction indicator appears whilst you are driving, or does not appear when the vehicle is in POWER ON position, this indicates that the EPB may have malfunctioned. Have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

When the ESC indicator appears because the ESC is not working properly, the EPB malfunction indicator may also appear. This does not indicate a malfunction of the EPB.

NOTE

The EPB warning light may appear if the EPB switch operates abnormally. Turn the vehicle off, then turn it back on after a few minutes. The warning light disappears, and the EPB switch operates normally. If the EPB warning light remains on, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

If the EPB warning light blinks or does not appear, even when you pull up the EPB switch, this indicates that the EPB has not been applied.

If the EPB warning light blinks, press and then pull up the EPB switch. Press it back into its original position and pull it back up. If the EPB warning light does not turn off, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

When the EPB is not released

If the EPB does not release normally, load your Kia EV2 onto a flatbed tow truck and have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.
