Brake/clutch fluid
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the coolant
in order to prevent the coolant from
overflowing into engine parts such as
the alternator.
Coolant
僅 Do not use radiator coolant or anti
-
freeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
僅 Radiator coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windscreen and may cause loss of
vehicle control or damage to paint
and body trim.
Brake/clutch fluid
The brake/clutch fluid acts to transmit
force to the brake when the driver
depresses the brake pedal. Brake/clutch
fluid must be maintained periodically to
ensure that the brakes operate
smoothly.
Checking the brake/clutch 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/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch
fluid contamination.
2. If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumu
-
lated mileage. This is a normal condi
-
tion associated with the wear of the
brake linings. If the fluid level is exces
-
sively low, we recommend that the
system be checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
