How do I properly maintain the braking system on my Kia Rio?

I've noticed that my Kia Rio's braking system is not performing as well as it used to. What steps can I take to ensure proper maintenance and avoid any potential safety hazards?

Regularly check and replace your brake pads when necessary. Worn out brake pads can significantly affect the performance of your brakes.

Make sure to check your brake fluid level at least once a month. Low brake fluid can lead to reduced braking power and potential damage to the system.

Get your brake system inspected by a certified mechanic at least once a year. They can check for any potential issues and ensure your brakes are in top working condition.

Avoid constant and harsh braking as it can wear out your braking system faster. Try to anticipate stops and gradually apply brakes.
