Maintenance Washer fluid
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac
-
ities" on page 8-9.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
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.

open air for an extended time should
never be used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be disposed of
properly.

and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia gen
-
uine brake fluid or those of an equiva
-
lent standard brake fluid as in the
specification.

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 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

-
freeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
