MAINTENANCE
PARKING BRAKE
POWER STEERING
CHECKING THE POWER
Before adding power steering fluid,
thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steering
fluid contamination.
CHECKING THE PARKING BRAKE
Check the stroke of the parking brake by
counting the number of “clicks” heard
while fully applying it from the released
position. Also, the parking brake alone
should securely hold the vehicle on a
fairly steep grade.
STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should be
checked periodically. With the engine
off and the vehicle on level ground,
check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir; it should be between
the MAX and MIN reservoir indicators.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.
In the event the power steering system
requires frequent addition of fluid, the
vehicle should be inspected by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
✻
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate the
vehicle for prolonged periods with
low power steering fluid level.
MMSA7007
Use only the specified power steering fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended Lubricants”
later in this section.)
If the number of “clicks” is more or less
than specified, have the parking brake
adjusted by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
