Checking Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN indicators on
the side of the reservoir.
7-14
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap thor-
oughly to prevent brake/clutch fluid
contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumu-
lated mileage. This is a normal condi-
tion associated with the wear of the
brake/clutch linings. If the fluid level
becomes low frequently, have the
brake/clutch system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
