warrants that it will arrange for an Authorized EV Kia
Dealer at locations of its choice to provide for the repair of

identification and diagnosis of the failure to function, and
permit the facility adequate time to perform the necessary
repair. As this obligation is subject to the terms, conditions

manual to understand which repairs and replacements are
covered by this warranty. If an Authorized EV Kia Dealer
declines or fails to carry out a proper repair or replacement
of a factory installed part covered by this limited warranty
without charge to you, Kia will (a) determine if the repair or
replacement requested by you is covered by this Anti-
Perforation Limited Warranty and, if so, (b) obtain
cooperation from an Authorized EV Kia Dealer to conduct

Kia’s obligation to do (a) and (b) requires you to contact the

3. Your Responsibilities
Inspect the body sheet metal panels of your Kia Vehicle
on a regular basis (at least monthly) to detect any chips
or scratches in the paint or protective coating and to
repair them immediately.
Special care should be taken to protect your Kia Vehicle
from corrosion under the following conditions:
• If you drive on salted roads, or if you drive near the
ocean, flush the underbody as needed, and at least
weekly with clean unsalted water.
• It is important to keep the drain holes in the lower
edges of the body clear.

any event which may cause damage to the paint,
have your Kia Vehicle repaired as soon as possible.

sealed. Any leakage of such materials will void this

recommend that you install stone guards behind
each wheel.
