BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir pe‐
riodically. The fluid level should be be‐ tween 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 contamina‐
tion.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumula‐ ted mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings. If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Re‐ fer to L

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the automatic
transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following
procedure. 1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral) position and confirm if the engine is
running at normal idle speed.
NOTICE
Insert the level gauge, after checking
the automatic transaxle fluid level. In
the direction referred in the picture.
CAUTION
If you insert the level gauge in thewrong direction, it can cause defor‐mation (or damage) to level gauge.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently [fluid temperature
70~80°C (158~176°F)], for example
by 10 minutes usual driving, move
the shift lever through all positions
then place the shift lever in N(Neu‐
tral) or P(Park) position.

3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the "HOT" range on the level gauge. If
the fluid level is lower, add the
specified fluid from the fill hole. If
the fluid level is higher, drain the
fluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition [fluid temperature
20~30°C (68~86°F)], add the fluid to
the "COLD" line and then recheck the fluid level according to the
above step 2.
