BRAKES AND CLUTCH (IF EQUIPPED)

Checking 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.

Before removing the reservoir cap

and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean

the area around the reservoir cap

thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch

fluid contamination.

If the level is low, add fluid to the

MAX level. The level will fall with

accumulated mileage. This is a nor-

mal condition associated with the

wear of the brake linings. If the fluid

level is excessively low, have the

brake system checked by an

Authorized Kia Dealer.

Use only the specified brake/clutch

fluid. (Refer to “Recommended

Lubricants” later in this section.)

Never mix different types of fluid.

WARNING - Brake fluid

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 contact with your eyes, imme-

diately flush them with a large

quantity of fresh tap water. Have

your eyes examined by a doctor

as soon as possible.

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.
