Kia Picanto: Maintenance / Parking brake

Kia Picanto JA 2017-2025 Owner's Manual / Maintenance / Parking brake

Checking the parking brake

Check the stroke of the parking brake by counting the number of “clicks’’ heard while fully applying it from the released position. Also, the parking brake alone should securely hold the vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the stroke is more or less than specified, have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Stroke : 5~7 “clicks’’ at a force of 20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
