Check the stroke of the parking brake by counting the number of "clicks" heard whilst 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 authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

Stroke: 6~8 "clicks" at a force of 20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
