Checking the brake 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 fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly
to prevent brake 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,
have the system checked by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac-
ities" on page 9-9.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING
Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system requires
frequent additions of fluid, have the sys-
tem inspected by a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
