Maintenance
BRAKE FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer
to “Recommended Lubricants” later in
this section.)
CAUTION
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 cannot 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
system can damage brake system
parts.
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Loss of brake
fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
the vehicle should be inspected by
an Authorized Kia Dealer.

Checking brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically.The fluid level should be between
MAX and MIN marks 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 asso-
ciated with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, have the
brake system checked by an Authorized
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 assoon as possible.
