NOTICE

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 cannot be guaranteed. It
should be thrown out. Don't put in
the wrong kind of fluid. A few drops
of mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake clutch system can
damage brake clutch system parts.

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 stroke is more or less
than specified, have the parking
brake adjusted by an Authorized Kia
Dealer.

Stroke : 7~8 “clicks’’ at a force of

20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
