Where is the electronic parking brake of the Kia K5 located?

The electronic parking brake of the Kia K5 is located at the lower left corner in front of the driver's seat. It is a foot-operated parking brake. To release the brake, press it down and push it to the right. When using it, avoid stepping on the parking brake with your left foot while it is resting on the footrest. Taking the 2020 Kia K5 Fashion Edition as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of 4980mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1445mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The 2020 Kia K5 Fashion Edition is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 170ps and a maximum power speed of 5500rpm.

I've been driving a Kia K5 for several years, and every time I park, I use the electronic parking brake. It's located near the gear shift lever on the right side of the driver's seat, a small button with a 'P' symbol. Pressing it locks the wheels. When the car was new, I often forgot to press it, and once the car slightly rolled downhill, which gave me a scare. Now I've developed the habit of pressing it when parking and releasing it automatically by stepping on the accelerator when starting. The position is very handy and won't be confused with other buttons, such as the audio controls above. During regular maintenance, pay attention to cleaning the button to prevent spills from drinks, which could cause poor contact. Kia's design for this location is very practical, saving space and ensuring safety, with the automatic function assisting to stabilize the car on slopes. Remember to use it correctly: press it once when stopping at a long red light, ensuring the indicator light is on to prevent accidental sliding. If you're unsure of its location, just feel the right area of the center console before driving—it's quick to get used to and easy to spot.

When I first got my new Kia K5, I learned how to use the electronic parking brake. It's located right next to the gear shifter, and I can easily reach the "P" button with my right hand. The operation is super simple: press once to engage when parking, and press again or simply step on the accelerator to release when starting off. When I first started driving, I was curious about its position and discovered it’s just below the cup holder, making accidental activation unlikely. I love this design because it saves space compared to the lever in my old car, and I can operate it effortlessly without distraction while driving. The position is clearly marked, and if there’s no button icon, I just turn on the dashboard light to confirm. Personal tip: The system sometimes activates automatically when parking on a slope, but manual operation is more reliable. Maintenance tip: Regularly check for dust buildup around the button and wipe the surface with a cloth during car washes to ensure quick response. This is a common topic in car owner groups—the position in the right-side area of the driver’s seat is a standard design. An added bonus: The fixed position makes it easier to teach new drivers, reducing risks.

The electronic parking brake of the Kia K5 is located on the right side of the center console near the gear shift lever, marked with a small 'P' button. Correct operation is key: press to lock the wheels when parking, and release before starting to avoid rolling. Its position is easy to find and does not affect safe driving, especially at night when you don't need to look down. Always pay attention to its position and use it in conjunction with the indicator light. The system is reliable, but be cautious of moisture on rainy days to prevent malfunctions. The design is compact and clear, and keeping the interface clean during maintenance is recommended.
