New here and trying to figure out what's going on after a snowy drive. Auto hold, ESC, DBC and forward collision assist lights all came on along with a triangle warning. Windshield is clean so I'm wondering if snow buildup on the sensors might be the issue. AWD and parking break seem fine. Any advice on how to clear these auto hold Kia K5 warnings would be much appreciated! Thanks a ton!
 
Sounds like your Kia K5's throwin' a bit of a fit after that snow. I think you're right about the sensors gettin' snowed in.
maybe you should try tog ive the front bumper and around the mirror a good wipe.
Turn the car off then back on and see if those lights chill out
 
The snow buildup on the sensors is likely causing those warning lights, you can try clearing the sensors or using compressed air to remove any ice or snow.
 
Managed to clear the warnings! A thorough wipe down of the sensors and a restart did the trick. Appreciate all your advice, saved me from overthinking the issue!

Glad it helped! Hope your dad's fix is just as simple. No one wants to wrestle with warning lights longer than necessary. Let us know here if he runs into anything weird!
