ENGINE OIL (PETROL)
Checking the engine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating tempera-
ture.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully. 5. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. The level should
be between F and L.
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.)
WARNING - Radiator
hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may
be hot enough to burn you.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. It may damage the engine.
Do not spill engine oil, when adding or changing engine oil.If you drop the engine oil onthe engine room, wipe it offimmediately.
When you wipe the oil level gauge, you should wipe it witha clean cloth. When mixedwith debris, it can causeengine damage.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch
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.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutchfluid contamination.
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,
have the system checked by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Use only the specified brake fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricantsand capacities” in chapter 9.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
ORP076084R
WARNING - Brake / clutch
fluid
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.
WARNING - Loss of
brake/clutch fluid
In the event the brake/clutch
system requires frequent addi-
tions of fluid, have the system
Inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to contact the vehicle's bodypaint, as paint damage will result. Brake/clutch fluid, whichhas been exposed to open airfor an extended time should never be used as its quality can-not be guaranteed. It should beproperly disposed. Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid. A fewdrops of mineral-based oil, suchas engine oil, in your brake/ clutch system can damagebrake/clutch system parts.
