Maintenance Brake/clutch fluid
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. 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 associated with the wear of
the brake linings. If the fluid level is
excessively low, we recommend that
the system be checked by a profes
-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to "Recommended lubricants and
capacities" on page 9-9.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING
In the event the brake system requires
frequent additions of fluid, we recom
-
mend that the system be checked by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
WARNING
When changing and adding brake/
clutch fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let
it come in contact with your eyes. If
brake/clutch fluid should come in con
-
tact with your eyes, immediately flush
them with a large quantity of fresh tap
water. Have your eyes examined by a
doctor as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Brake/clutch fluid
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to con -
tact the vehicle's body paint, as paint
damage will result.
The brake/clutch fluid constantly
absorbs moisture from the air. This low
-
ers the boiling point of the brake/clutch
fluid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied
hard.
Brake/clutch 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 dis -
posed of properly.
