Precautions
WARNING
• In the event the brake system requires frequent additions of fluid, have the system
inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
• When changing and adding brake fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it come in con
tact with your eyes. If brake fluid should come in contact with your eyes, immediate
ly flush them with a large quantity of fresh tap water. Have your eyes examined by
a doctor as soon as possible.
• The electric motor for the cooling fan may continue to operate or start
up when the vehicle is not running and can cause serious injury.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the rotating fan blades of the cooling fan.
The electric motor for the cooling fan is controlled by vehicle coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure and vehicle speed. As the vehicle coolant temperature decreas
es, the electric motor will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
• Do not use coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
• Coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed on the windscreen and may
cause loss of vehicle control or damage to paint and body trim.
• Windscreen Washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flam
mable under certain circumstances. Do not allow sparks or flame to contact the
washer fluid or the washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or occupants could
occur.
• Windscreen washer fluid is poisonous to humans and animals. Do not drink and
avoid contacting windscreen washer fluid. Serious injury or death could occur.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, as paint damage will re
sult. Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an extended time should
never be used as its quality cannot be guaranteed. It should be properly disposed.
Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid. A few drops of mineral-based oil in your brake
system can damage brake system parts.
NOTE
To maintain your vehicle's best brake and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia genuine
brake fluid or those of an equivalent standard brake fluid as in the specification.
