Question about Electronic Parking Brake
I also have a 2026 SX- Pristage but it is a hybrid. On my vehicle the EPB only comes on if I use Auto Hold. It does not come on if Auto Hold is off. This is the same way it worked in my 2019 Sorento. One difference between my now sold Sorento and the new Sportage is the Auto Hold stays in the last setting after the vehicle is turned off and back on. The Auto Hold on my Sorento had to be re engaged each time I started the vehicle. I think I prefered to have it return to off when the ignition was recycled.Hi everyone. I am new to the KIA family. Just purchased a white 2026 SX- Prestige (FWD) 2 weeks ago in New Jersey. Everything is great so far. I just have a question about the EPB. In the manual it says that if you use the Auto Hold feature then the EPB comes on when you put the car in park. I don't use the Auto Hold and every time I put the car in park the EPB comes on. Every single time. No problem because it unlocks when I take the car out of park. Is this normal to come on all the time in Park? The manual says only if Auto Hold is on. Thanks everyone.

Hi. I have a 2026 Sportage. The parking brake is confusing me. I do not have auto hold engaged. But the electronic parking brake comes on when I’m in Park, and is on when I put the car in Reverse and also Drive, so I have to manually shut it off. Not making any sense to me.

That's not right. Mine sets automatically when I put the car in Park and comes off every time when I take it out of Park. And I never use auto hold. Get it checked out. Good luck.Hi.
