Brakes and Clutch

Checking Brake/Clutch Fluid Level

Brake Fluid Reservoir

Before adding fluid, thoroughly clean the area around
the reservoir cap to prevent brake fluid contamination.
If you add brake/clutch fluid, fill the brake/clutch fluid
reservoir to the MAX line. The brake/clutch fluid level
will drop with accumulated mileage. This is a normal
condition associated with brake/clutch lining wear.

Check the fluid level in the reservoir periodically; it
should be between MAX and MIN on the side of the
reservoir.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have the
brake/clutch system checked by an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid. (Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants’’ later in this section.)

Do not mix different types of fluid.

NOTICE

In the event the brake/clutch system requires
frequent additions of fluid, the vehicle should be
inspected by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
