BRAKE FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir pe‐

adding brake fluid, clean the area around the reservoir cap thoroughly to
prevent brake fluid contamination.

recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified brake fluid (Re‐
