Kia Soul: Maintenance / Parking brake - hand type
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).
