Kia Picanto (JA): Maintenance / 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 stroke is more or less than specified, have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Stroke : 5~7 “clicks’’ at a force of 20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

    Checking the washer fluid level The reservoir is translucent so that you can check the level with a quick visual inspection. Check the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary.

    Filter replacement It must be replaced when necessary, and should not be washed. You can clean the filter when inspecting the air cleaner element.
