How often should I change the brake fluid in my Kia Picanto?

I recently purchased a Kia Picanto and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. I've heard that the brake fluid needs to be changed regularly, but I'm not sure how often. Can you provide some guidance on when I should change the brake fluid and why it's important?

Brake fluid should be changed every 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is important because over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture which can decrease its effectiveness and potentially lead to brake failure.

I recommend changing your brake fluid every 2 years, even if you haven't reached the mileage threshold. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your brakes.

You can also check your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your specific model of Kia Picanto. But in general, every 2 years or 24,000 miles is a good rule of thumb.
