BRAKES
Checking Brake Fluid Level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir periodically.
The fluid level should be between MAX and MIN
indicators on the side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and adding
brake fluid, clean the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX level. The
level will fall with accumulated mileage. This is a
normal condition associated with the wear of the
brake linings. If the fluid level becomes low
frequently, have the brake system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer or another competent repair
center.
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants’’ later in this section.)
Never mix different types of fluid.

NOTICE

additions of fluid, the vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer or
another competent repair center.
