Kia Picanto: 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
