PARKING BRAKE
Checking the Parking Brake
Check the stroke of the parking brake
by counting the number of “clicks’’
heard while fully applying it from the
released position. Also, the parking
brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
number of “clicks’’ is more or less
than specified, have the parking
brake adjusted by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Stroke:
4~6 “clicks’’ at a force of 22 lbs (10kg,
98N).

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