Kia Cee'd: Vehicle stability management
(VSM) / Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if you
don’t cancel the VSM operation by pressing
the ESC OFF button. It indicates that
a malfunction has been detected somewhere
in the EPS (Electronic Power
Steering) system or VSM system. If the
ESC indicator light (
) or EPS
warning
light remains on, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
✽ NOTICE
- The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 15 km/h (9 mph)
on curves.
- The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (18
mph) when a vehicle is braking on a
split-mu road. The split-mu road is
made of surfaces which have different
friction forces.

safe driving practices but a supplementary
function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Always hold the steering wheel

installed. Always follow all the
normal precautions for driving at
safe speeds for the conditions –
including driving in inclement
weather and on a slippery road.
