Maintenance  
BRAKES AND CLUTCH (IF EQUIPPED)  
If the level is low, add fluid to the  
WARNING  
MAX level. The level will fall with  
accumulated mileage. This is a nor-  
mal 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.  
In the event the brake system  
requires frequent additions of  
fluid, the vehicle should be  
inspected by an Authorized Kia  
Dealer.  
Use only the specified brake/clutch  
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended  
Lubricants” in chapter 8.)  
OED076023  
Checking brake/clutch fluid  
level  
Never mix different types of fluid.  
Check the fluid level in the reservoir  
periodically. The fluid level should be  
between MAX and MIN marks on the  
side of the reservoir.  
Before removing the reservoir cap  
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean  
the area around the reservoir cap  
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch  
fluid contamination.

Maintenance  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid  
to contact the vehicle's body  
paint, as paint damage will  
result. Brake/clutch fluid, which  
has been exposed to open air  
for an extended time should  
never be used as its quality can-  
not be guaranteed. It should be  
thrown out. Don't put in the  
wrong kind of fluid. For exam-  
ple, just a few drops of mineral-  
based oil, such as engine oil, in  
your brake clutch system can  
damage brake clutch system  
parts.  
When changing and adding  
brake/clutch fluid, handle it  
carefully. Do not let it come in  
contact with your eyes. If  
brake/clutch fluid should come  
in contact with your eyes, imme-  
diately flush them with a large  
quantity of fresh tap water. Have  
your eyes examined by a doctor  
as soon as possible.
