New Vehicle Limited Warranty10
•Damaged brake rotors and drums resulting from
failing to replace brake pads and/or shoes before
they have worn sufficiently to damage such rotors
and drums. It is your obligation to ensure adequate
inspections to prevent rotor and drum damage due to
pad/shoe wear.
Manufacturer Design Choices
•The choices made in designing your vehicle,
including the materials chosen for parts and
components.
•Note: A material is not defective or underperforming
under your warranty because a better, stronger, more
durable or more suitable material could have been
used.
•Note: All vehicle dimensions and measurements are
made solely at the discretion of the manufacturer
and are not warranted to be suitable for you or
anyone else who uses your vehicle.
Normal Deterioration
•Replacement or repair of parts intended to wear
including the friction wear parts of the brakes,
including brake pads and shoes, spark plugs, belts,
clutch linings, filters, wiper blades, bulbs, fuses, and
other wear and consumable items.
•Surface corrosion on any part other than the body
sheet metal panels forming the exterior appearance
of a Kia Vehicle.
Normal Maintenance
•Normal maintenance services such as: cleaning and
polishing, minor adjustments, lubrication, oil/fluid
changes, filters, anti- freeze coolant replenishment,
wheel alignment and tire rotation unless such services
are performed as part of a covered warrantable repair.
•Normal maintenance items including but not limited
to spark plugs, engine belts, filters, wiper blades, and
bulbs are not warranted. However, as a matter of
policy, Kia will repair or replace such maintenance
items of a new vehicle during the vehicle’s initial
ownership period, but only up to the first service
interval or 12 months/12,000 miles, whichever
comes first.
•Maintenance services described as “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”, “Owner Maintenance
Services” or “Appearance Care” in your Owner ’s
Manual.
Altered Mileage
•Any repair of a Kia Vehicle on which the odometer
has been altered or on which the actual mileage

What The Owner Must Do
It is your responsibility to perform the required
maintenance and use the vehicle in accordance with
Kia’s written instructions. Warranty coverage will not be
denied solely because there is no record of maintenance.
However, failures caused by lack of required
maintenance are not covered by the warranty. To avoid
questions as to whether the vehicle maintenance has
been performed, Kia urges that you retain all receipts
and/or maintenance records indicating that service has
been performed on the vehicle and these documents
should be transferred to any subsequent owner of the
vehicle.
Service
MAINTENANCE SERVICE CAN BE PERFORMED
BY ANY QUALIFIED SERVICE OUTLET OR BY
THE OWNER. HOWEVER, EXCEPT IN AN
EMERGENCY SITUATION (SEE EMERGENCY
SERVICE), WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE
PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED KIA DEALER.
Parts
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ANY REPLACEMENT
PARTS USED FOR MAINTENANCE OR FOR THE
REPAIR OF EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEMS BE
NEW, KIA GENUINE PARTS. However, the warranty
obligations are not dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement parts. The owner may
elect to use non-Kia parts for maintenance purposes. Use
of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality
may impair the effectiveness of emissions control
systems.
What Is Not Covered By Emission Warranty
Malfunctions in any part caused by misuse, alteration,
tampering, disconnection or improper or inadequate
maintenance.
Damage to catalytic converter due to use of leaded
gasoline.
Damage resulting from fire, accident, negligence, act of
God or other events beyond the control of Kia.
Maintenance replacement parts (such as spark plugs)
beyond the first scheduled replacement point.
