Checking the parking brake
Check whether the stroke is within
specification when the parking brake
pedal is depressed with 20 kg (44 lb,
196 N) of force. Also, the parking
brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
stroke is more or less than specified,
have the parking brake adjusted by
an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Stroke : 88~98 mm (3.5~3.8 in)

PARKING BRAKE
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result. Brake
fluid, which has been exposed
to open air for an extended time
should never be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be thrown out. Don't put
in the wrong kind of fluid. For
example, just a few drops of
mineral-based oil,
such as
engine oil, in your brake clutch
system can damage brake
clutch system parts.
