Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
1. Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake fluid
contamination.
2. Periodically check that the fluid
level in the brake fluid reservoir is
between MIN and MAX. The level
will fall with accumulated mileage.
This is a normal condition associ

linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low,
have the system checked by a
professional workshop. Kia rec
