Subject to the other terms and conditions of this limited
warranty manual, Kia Motors America, Inc. (“Kia”)
warrants that it will arrange for an Authorized EV Kia
Dealer at locations of its choice to provide for the repair of
your vehicle if it fails to function properly during normal
use. Such service facilities will remedy such failures to
function properly at KMA’s expense, if you present your
vehicle to such a service facility during its normal operating
hours, provide sufficient information to permit a proper
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
and limitations of this Manual, you should refer to the
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
such repair or replacement without charge to you. However,
Kia’s obligation to do (a) and (b) requires you to contact the
Kia Consumer Assistance Center and provide all materials
needed by them to carry out those obligations to you. The
Center can be contacted at the address or phone number
provided in the Kia Owner Satisfaction and Assistance
Section of this manual, or can also be found at the Kia
website at http://www.kia.com.

the Kia Vehicle in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph 3, “Your Responsibilities”
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.
• If your Kia Vehicle is damaged due to an accident or
any event which may cause damage to the paint,
have your Kia Vehicle repaired as soon as possible.
• If you carry special cargo, such as chemicals,
fertilizers, deicing salt, or other corrosive substances,
be sure that such materials are well packaged and
sealed. Any leakage of such materials will void this
warranty where the leakage has occurred.
• If you drive frequently on gravel roads, we
recommend that you install stone guards behind
each wheel.
4. To Get Warranty Service
You must take your Kia Vehicle, along with this
manual, to any Authorized EV Kia Dealer in the United

20Scheduled Maintenance Record
The service records on this and the following pages have
been designed to include the signature of your Authorized
EV Kia Dealer representative or other repair establishment
representative. This signed form is evidence of completion
of maintenance services and should be kept with the
receipts, repair orders and invoices in the glove box. All
records should be given to any subsequent owner of the Kia
Vehicle. Claims made during the warranty term will not
qualify under the warranty if resulting from lack of
maintenance rather than from defective material or
workmanship. Alternatively, for your convenience, you have
been provided with a vehicle maintenance Log booklet for
your use in recording your Kia vehicle’s maintenance. You
may use either to organize and maintain your records.
