Features may vary

Many new Kia vehicles are equipped with Electronic Parking Brakes (EPB) that actuate with just the press of a button. At Kia, there are two main types of EPB.

1. Caliper-Integrated EPB

A motor inside the caliper generates braking force by pushing the caliper piston out. This is a simpler EPB layout that works well across many models.

2. Cable-Type EPB

A drum-in-hat system is used where the cable is pulled by an actuator with an integrated ECU. This is used on vehicles that require parking brakes with higher capacity.
