KIA P2M Posts Favorite Electronic Parking Brake and Auto Hold Features may vary Select Kia models are equipped with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) and/or Auto Hold feature. Customers may find Auto Hold convenient when stopped at a stop light, or going through a drive-through. Taking the time to understand these features is essential for effectively demonstrating them to your customers. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) The EPB offers a sleek, user-friendly alternative to a traditional handbrake. Depending on the vehicle, you can typically find the EPB located on the lower-left side of the instrument cluster or on the center console (A). To activate the EPB: Press the brake pedal firmly, then pull up on the EPB switch.To release the EPB: With the vehicle turned on, press down on the brake pedal and press the EPB switch. Auto Hold The Auto Hold feature is found on select Kia models and may allow drivers to maintain their vehicle’s position after coming to a complete stop without needing to keep their foot on the brake pedal. To activate Auto Hold: With the vehicle turned on, press the Auto Hold button (B). A white Auto Hold indicator on the dashboard will illuminate, indicating that the system is on standby. Once the vehicle comes to a stop, the Auto Hold indicator will change from white to green, confirming that Auto Hold is engaged. At this point, the vehicle will remain stationary even if the driver releases the brake pedal. The Auto Hold is released when the driver presses the accelerator pedal while the shifter is in drive. To cancel Auto Hold: Press the Auto Hold button, and the indicator will turn off. Alternatively, to deactivate Auto Hold while the vehicle is at a standstill, press the Auto Hold button while keeping the brake pedal pressed.
