From both memory of driving one last year, and after consulting pages 4:11 and 4:16the owners' handbook (free download here), it seems that you may be confusing the brake warning light with what you have reported seeing. To the best of my recollection there is no symbol exactly like the one you describe and there isn't one in the handbook.

If it is the brake warning light then your brakes need attention as soon as possible. After two years of use, it's very likely that the front brake pads are now worn and need replacement, but it's impossible to be certain without having the car inspected.

If the pads are worn and if you have replaced brake pads before then it's a fairly simple job, if not then get it done by someone experienced this time and watch them do it or take a course in basic car maintenance so you can do the job yourself in future. Note that brake discs (US=brake rotors) are also consumable items and usually need changing with every second set of pads, but they can last longer for drivers who drive gently. There's a little extra work involved but it's still relatively easy.

How do i reset my 2008 kia rio radio cannot find my book

Hello Jacqueline Dougan,

Sorry about that ROBOTIC "jamessizer" SPAM you got
in lieu of a 1/2 FAST answer.

Your FREE manual is available on-Line... (search)
2008 kia rio owners manual, on Page 3-80.

Has about 20 pages of info... found no RESET...
(unless you can negotiate things back to ENGLISH from Korean... you might want to give it some deeper thought
(presuming you ever found a RESET)..

Station setting is just as simple as tuning one in... pressing and holding for 8 seconds.

Hope this helps

Hello, got a yellow warning light on my mothers Kia rio 2002. Its about 10 0clock on the left hand side of the instrament panel, which she discribes as a engine block or tap! I havent seen the picture so...

More then likely it's going to be a check engine light, have her have engine diag. done, due to the computer pick up a bad reading from one of her engine sensor's, she can also take it to some one like Autozone and they can do a code reading for free, but tell her not to buy any thing till she has it check at a repair shop.
