Maintenance
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F.Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine com-ponents.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer to “Recommended lubricantsand capacities” in chapter 9.)Changing the engine oil and filter
We recommend that the engine oil
and filter be replaced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause skin irritation or cancer if left in con-
tact with the skin for prolonged
periods of time. Used engine oil
contains chemicals that have
caused cancer in laboratory
animals. Always protect your

BRAKE FLUID
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX (1) and MIN (2) marks
on the side of the reservoir. Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap thor-
oughly to prevent brake fluid contam-ination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
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, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified brake fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricantsor capacities” in chapter 9.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Brake fluid
When changing and adding
brake fluid, handle it carefully.Do not let it come in contact
with your eyes. If brake fluidshould 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.
WARNING - Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to con- tact the vehicle's body paint, aspaint damage will result. Brakefluid, which has been exposed to open air for an extended timeshould never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. It should be properly disposed.Don't put in the wrong kind offluid. A few drops of mineral- based oil, such as engine oil, inyour brake system can damagebrake system parts.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Checking the power steering
fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground,
check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir periodically. The
fluid should be between MAX and
MIN marks on the side of the reser-
voir at the normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-ing fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level.
✽✽ NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the reservoir. If
the fluid is cold, check that it is in
the "COLD" range.
In the event the power steering sys- tem requires frequent addition of
fluid we recommend that the vehicle
should be inspected by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified power steering fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubri-cants or capacities" in chapter 9.)
Checking the power steering hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the power steering pump, do not operatethe vehicle for prolonged peri-ods with a low power steeringfluid level.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into thetank.
(Continued)
(Continued) Too little fluid can result in increased steering effortand/or noise from the power steering system.
The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effective-ness of the power steering sys-tem and cause damage to it.
