2008 Kia Borrego Owners Manual

Features of your vehicle
D150308AHM-EE
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still
have braking  on two wheels  even if one
of the dual systems should fail. With only
one of  the  dual systems  working, more
than  normal   pedal  travel   and  greater
pedal pressure  are required  to stop  the
vehicle. Also, the  vehicle will  not stop in
as short a distance with only a portion  of
the brake  system working.  If the  brakes
fail while you  are driving, shift to a  lower
gear  for  additional  engine  braking  and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.

Low brake fluid level warning
If  the warning  light  remains  on,  it may
indicate that  the  brake fluid  level in  the
reservoir is low.
The warning  light illuminates  if the tem-
perature of  the engine  coolant is  above
125±2.5°C
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in the Index.
To check  bulb operation,  check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates  when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
(257±4.5°F).
If the warning light remains on:
1.
Drive  carefully   to  the   nearest   safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2.
With  the  engine  stopped,  check  the
brake fluid  level immediately  and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
WARNING
NOTICE
Driving the  vehicle with  a  warning
light on  is dangerous.  If the  brake
warning light  remains on, have the
brakes checked and repaired imme-
diately by an authorized KIA dealer.
If the engine coolant temperature warn-
ing  light illuminates,  it  indicates  over-
heating that may damage the engine.
3.
Do  not drive  the  vehicle  if leaks  are
found, the warning light  remains on or
the  brakes  do  not  operate  properly.
Have the vehicle towed  to any author-
ized  KIA  dealer  for  a  brake  system
inspection and necessary repairs.
