Kia Sportage Dashboard Light Guide

Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light

Looks Like: An exclamation point in a circle and a “P” in a circle over “BRAKE”

With the help of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection and available Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, your Sportage keeps you protected on the open road. Therefore, you’ll want every safety component on your SUV to be in pristine condition, starting with your braking system.

Brake fluid is essential to lubricating key braking components, so you can stop on a dime. Therefore, when you see this light, you’ll want to inspect your fluid level immediately. Add more fluid as designated in your owner’s manual or stop by your nearest Kia service center for assistance.

Charging System Warning Light

Looks Like: A car battery

When this light illuminates, stop your vehicle in a safe place and check to see if the alternator drive belt is loose or broken.

If everything appears normal but the light is still on, there may be a problem with the electrical charging system. You should seek a service center as soon as possible to ensure your Sportage continues to turn on and run properly.

Master Warning Light

Looks Like: A triangle with an exclamation point in the center

When this system is equipped, this light can turn on to indicate one or more of the following issues:

• Blind Spot Detection malfunction
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System malfunction
• Autonomous Emergency Braking malfunction
• Lamp malfunction

If you see this light, consult your owner’s manual or reach out to a Kia service center.

Low Tire Pressure Warning Light

Looks Like: ( ! )

You’ll see this light when one or more of your tires are underinflated. Fill them to the correct level designated by your owner’s manual to make sure they continue to provide the secure road grip and supported braking you need.

However, if the light doesn’t turn off after adding more air, contact your local service center.
