Maintenance Brake fluid
Brake fluid
The brake fluid acts to transmit
force to the brake when the driver
depresses the brake pedal. Brake
fluid must be maintained periodi
-
cally to ensure that the brakes
operate smoothly.
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
1. Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake fluid
contamination.
CAUTION
Proper fluid
Only use brake fluid in the brake
system. Small amounts of improper
fluids can cause damage to the
brake system.
2. If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage. This is a
normal condition associated with
the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low,
have the brake system checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified brake fluid.
(Refer to "Recommended lubricants
and capacities" on page 9-5.)
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.
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.
