How do I properly maintain the brake system in my Kia Sorento?

I have noticed that my brakes are starting to feel less responsive and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining them to ensure safety while driving. What should I be checking and how often should I perform maintenance on the brake system of my Kia Sorento?

Hi Julia, it is important to regularly check and maintain your brakes to ensure optimal performance and safety while driving. Make sure to check your brake pads, brake fluid, and brake lines for any signs of wear and tear. You should also have a professional mechanic inspect your brakes at least once a year.

Hi Julia, you should also pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations while braking, as these could be signs of an issue with your brakes. Additionally, avoid riding your brakes excessively and try to anticipate stops to reduce wear on your brakes. Hope this helps!

Hi Julia, if you notice any changes in your braking performance, such as longer stopping distances or a soft pedal feel, it is important to have your brakes inspected immediately. Don't wait until it's too late and always put your safety first.
