VSM operation
When the VSM is in operation, ESC indicator light ()

When the vehicle stability management is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle and/or abnormal steering responses (EPS). This is only the effect of brake and EPS control and indicates nothing unusual.
The VSM does not operate when:
If you press the ESC OFF button to turn off the ESC, the VSM will also cancel
and the ESC OFF indicator light () illuminates.
To turn on the VSM, press the button again. The ESC OFF indicator light goes out.
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 Electric Power Steering system or VSM system. If the ESC indicator light
() or EPS warning light remains on,
take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.
