BRAKE FLUID
If the  level is  low, add  fluid  to the  MAX
level. The level will  fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition asso-
ciated with the wear  of the brake linings.
If the  fluid level is  excessively low,  have
the brake system  checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
WARNING - Brake fluid
When  changing  and adding  brake
fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it
come  in contact  with your  eyes. If
brake fluid  should come in contact
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.
Use only the  specified brake fluid. (Refer
to  “Recommended   Lubricants”  later  in
this section.)
NOTICE

Never mix different types of fluid.
Do not  allow brake fluid  to contact  the
vehicle's  body  paint,  as  paint  damage
will result.  Brake fluid, which  has been
exposed to open air for an extended time
should never be  used as its quality  can-
not be  guaranteed. It should  be thrown
out. Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid.
A few  drops of  mineral-based oil,  such
as engine  oil,  in your  brake/clutch sys-
tem  can   damage  brake/clutch  system
parts.
