Kia Cadenza: Brake system / Vehicle stability management
(VSM)
This system provides further
enhancements to vehicle stability
and steering responses when a vehicle
is driving on a slippery road or a
vehicle detects changes in coefficient
of friction between right wheels
and left wheels when braking.
WARNING - Tire/
Wheel size
When replacing tires and wheels,
make sure they are the same size
as the original tires and wheels
installed. Driving with varying
tire or wheel sizes may diminish
any supplemental safety benefits
of the VSM system.
VSM operation
When the VSM is in operation, ESC
indicator light () blinks.
When the vehicle stability management
is operating properly, you can
feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle
and/or abnormal steering responses
(EPS- Electronic Power Steering).
This is only the effect of brake and
EPS control and indicates nothing
unusual.
The VSM does not operate when:
- Driving on a sloping road such as a
gradient or incline
- Driving in reverse
- ESC OFF indicator light ()
remains on the instrument cluster
- EPS indicator light remains on the
instrument cluster
VSM operation off
If you press the ESC OFF button to
turn off the ESC, the VSM will also
cancel and the ESC OFF indicator
light () illuminates.
To turn on the VSM, press the button
again. The ESC OFF indicator light
goes out.
WARNING
- Vehicle stability management
Drive carefully even though
your vehicle has Vehicle stability
management. It can only
assist you in maintaining control
under certain circumstances.
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
Electric Power Steering system or
VSM system. If the ESC indicator
light () or EPS warning light
remains on, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and have the
system checked.
✽ NOTICE
- The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 13 mph (22
km/h) on curves.
- The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 6 mph (10
km/h) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu surface. A split-mu surface
is made of two surfaces which
have different friction forces.
- 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 installed VSM. Always follow
all the normal precautions for
driving at safe speeds for the conditions
– including driving in inclement
weather and on a slippery road.
WARNING
For maximum protection, always
wear your seat belt. No system,
no matter how advanced, can
compensate for all driver error
and/or driving conditions.
Always drive responsibly.
When driving
ESC should be turned on for daily
driving whenever possible.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving
on a flat road surface.
