Low brake fluid level warning

If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe

location and stop your vehicle.

2. With the engine stopped, check the

brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.

3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are

found, the warning light remains on or
the brakes do not operate properly.
Have it towed to any authorized Kia
