Washer Fluid; 僅 Checking The Washer Fluid Level - Kia Sorento 2023 Owner's Manual

Maintenance
WARNING
Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system requires
frequent additions of fluid, have the sys-
tem inspected 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 as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
Proper fluid
Only use brake fluid in the brake system.
Even small amounts of improper fluids
can cause damage to the brake system.
CAUTION
Brake fluid
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the
vehicle's body paint, as paint damage
will result.
The brake fluid constantly absorbs mois-
ture from the air. This lowers the boiling
point of the brake fluid. If the boiling
point is too low, vapor pockets may form
in the brake system when the brakes are
applied hard.
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 disposed of
properly.

Washer fluid

Washer fluid is used when wiping the
windshield of the vehicle with a wind-
shield wiper. You should check and refill
washer fluid periodically to make sure
that it doesn't run out.
Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.

僅 Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
Flammable fluid
Do not allow the washer fluid to come in
contact with open flames or sparks. The
windshield washer fluid reservoir is flam-
mable under certain circumstances. This
can result in a fire.
