BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. 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/clutch fluid contamination. If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition asso-
ciated with the wear of the brake linings
and/or clutch disc (if equipped). If the
fluid level is excessively low, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by an
authorised Kia dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants or
capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorised Kia
dealer.
WARNING - Brake/clutch fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have
your eyes examined by a doctor as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has beenexposed to open air for an extendedtime should never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be properly disposed. Don'tput in the wrong kind of fluid. A few drops of mineral-based oil, such asengine oil, in your brake/clutch sys-
tem can damage brake/clutch sys- tem parts.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the automatic transaxle
fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following pro-
cedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral) posi- tion and confirm the engine is running
at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up suffi- ciently [fluid temperature 70~80°C
(158~176°F)], for example by 10 min-
utes usual driving, move the shift leverthrough all positions then place the
shift lever in N(Neutral) 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 con- dition [fluid temperature 20~30 °C
(68~86 °F)], add the fluid to the “C”
(COLD) line and then recheck the fluid
level according to the above step 2.
✽✽
NOTICE
“C” (COLD) range is for reference only
and should NOT be used to determinetransaxle fluid level.
WARNING - Transaxle fluid
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at nor-
mal operating temperature. This
means that the engine, radiator,
radiator hose and exhaust system
etc., are very hot. Exercise great
care not to burn yourself during
this procedure.
WARNING - Parking brake
To avoid sudden movement of the
vehicle, apply parking brake and
depress the brake pedal before
moving the shift lever.
CAUTION
 Low fluid level causes transaxle shift slippage. Overfilling cancause foaming, loss of fluid and transaxle malfunction.
 The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transaxle malfunc-tion and failure.

✽✽
NOTICE
New automatic transaxle fluid should be
red. The red dye is added so the assem-bly plant can identify it as automatic
transaxle fluid and distinguish it from
engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye,
which is not an indicator of fluid quali-
ty, is not permanent. As the vehicle isdriven, the automatic transaxle fluid
will begin to look darker. The colour
may eventually appear light brown.
Therefore, we recommend that the sys-
tem be replaced by an authorised Kia
dealer according to the ScheduledMaintenance at the beginning of thissection.
Use only specified automatic transaxle
fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricantsor capacities" in section 8.) Changing the automatic transaxle fluid
We recommend that the system be
replaced by an authorised Kia dealer.According to the Maintenance Scheduleat the beginning of this section.

FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)
Draining water from the fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays an
important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in itsbottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter, the
warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. If this warning light illuminates,
we recommend that you con-
tact an authorised Kia dealer.
Extracting air from the fuel filter
If you drove until you have no fuel left or
if you replaced the fuel filter, be sure to
extract air in the fuel system as it makes
you difficult to start the engine.
1. Press the priming pump (1) severaltimes.
2. Open the air extracting hall after removing the bolt (2) using a screw-
driver to extract air.
✽✽ NOTICE
Repeat the procedure above until all the
air is out. ✽

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses. This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has
blown, the element inside the fuse will bemelted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
Before replacing a blown fuse, disconnect
the negative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and we recommend
that you consult an authorised Kia deal-
er.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type
and multi fuse for higher amperage rat- ings.
✽✽ NOTICE
According to electronics option of vehi-
cle, some fuse and relays written in bomlabel could not be applied.
