For those who missed the tiny disclaimer 1:00 Yellow color mean Auto Hold won’t work and needs service. I almost missed it, they should have that in bigger fonts. 🤦🏻

1:27 So I activate auto hold and ten minutes later I'm going 80 mph down the highway and EPB stops my car?

Coming from a manual brake I'm having difficulty getting used to this in my new car. Kia really should do more to help people who are moving from the old sort of brake. I am revving like crazy, stalling and all sorts of disasters trying to get used to this auto-hold thing. I mean I may wreck the car competely before I find out how to use it. 😡

Try using the EPB and Autohold from a standing start on a downward incline - the car rolls forward - you need 3 feet. This is in a manual Kia Sportage - it's a design fault - unless someone can tell me otherwise.

The EPB is a great system in every way and now that I’ve used it for nearly 2 months, I couldn’t go back to the old conventional retrograde systems soon to join a bygone age. However one small issue I’m experiencing over the last few weeks happens mostly in the mornings, which appears to be that it is becoming increasingly hard to engage the EPB by pulling ‘up’ the switch, to the point that this morning I couldn’t engage it for a couple of hours (besides the EPB light not coming on when this happens, there’s also no ‘click’ from the switch). The Switch wouldn’t ‘click’ when attempting to pul it up. Then after a couple of hours it suddenly worked.

Pushing the switch down to disengage the EPB is never a problem and very easy to do, it’s just pulling the switch up.

Luckily the Auto Hold function saves the situation when the above issue occurs.

Anyone else experienced this?

This is the dumbest option I have ever seen on a car

Only in America you have to tell the people to close all doors and take on seatbelts before go on driving. 😂
