Kia Optima 2004 Owner's Manual page 99

NOTICE :
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake
pads.
Some driving conditions or climates may
cause a brake squeal when you first
apply, or lightly apply, the brakes. This
is normal and does not indicate a
problem with your brakes.
REAR DRUM BRAKES
(IF EQUIPPED)
Your rear drum brakes don't have wear
indicators. Have the rear brake linings
inspected if you hear a rear brake
rubbing noise. Also, have your rear
brakes inspected each time you change
or rotate your tires and when you have
the front brakes replaced.
CAUTION :
Always replace brake linings or front
pads as complete front or rear axle
sets.
PARKING BRAKE
• To set the parking brake, pull the
parking brake handle fully and firmly
upward while applying the service
brake.
