Brake fluid
If frequent additions are required, see an
authorized Kia dealer for a cooling sys
-
tem inspection.
Changing the coolant
Have the coolant changed by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer according to the Mainte
-
nance Schedule at the beginning of this
chapter.
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the coolant
in order to prevent the coolant from
overflowing into engine parts such as
the alternator.
Brake fluid
The brake fluid acts to transmit force to
the brake when the driver depresses the
brake pedal. Brake fluid must be main
-
tained periodically 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. Periodically check that the fluid level
in the brake fluid reservoir is
between MIN and MAX. 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 autho
-
rized Kia dealer.
