Maintenance
In the event the brake system requires
frequent additions of fluid, the vehicle
should be inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
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
Brake fluid
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the
vehicle's body paint, as paint damage
will result.
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.
CAUTION
To maintain your vehicle's best brake
and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia gen-
uine brake fluid as in the specification.

ISO4925 CLASS-6,FMVSS116 DOT-4)
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
OON072007
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 climates to pre-
vent 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.
WARNING
Coolant
僅 Do not use radiator coolant or anti-
freeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
僅 Radiator coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the wind-
shield and may cause loss of vehicle
control.
