What is the best way to maintain the brakes on a Kia Sportage?

I recently purchased a used Kia Sportage and want to make sure I keep the brakes in good condition. What are some tips for maintaining the brakes on this model?

Regularly check the brake fluid level and top it off if needed. This will ensure proper brake performance and prevent damage to the brake system.

Get your brakes checked at least once a year, or more frequently if you do a lot of driving or notice any issues. This will help identify any potential problems before they become serious and costly.

Avoid unnecessary heavy braking, such as slamming on the brakes or riding them for extended periods. This can wear down the brake pads and decrease their lifespan.

Consider upgrading to high-quality brake pads for better performance and longer lifespan. Your local mechanic or dealership can recommend the best options for your specific model.
