Anti-Perforation Limited Warranty
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
States during its normal service hours. (See pg.12 for
reference in locating an Authorized EV Kia Dealer).
If you have any questions or need assistance regarding
this warranty, refer to the “When You Need to Talk to
Kia” starting on Page 24.
5. Limited Liability
Liability under this warranty is limited solely to the
repair or replacement of factory installed parts that fail
to function properly. Such repair or replacement shall be
carried out by an Authorized EV Kia Dealer at its place
of business. This warranty does not include any other
expense, including but not limited to those for any
replacement transportation or for the loss of use of your
Kia vehicle.
6. Other Terms
The “Other Terms” stated on page 12 in the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty section of this manual also
apply to this warranty.

16Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty
Subject to the other terms and conditions of this limited
warranty manual, Kia 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.
An authorized EV Kia Dealer will remedy such failures
to function properly at Kia’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. When an Authorized EV Kia Dealer makes
necessary repairs pursuant to the warranty, it may do so
using parts that are new, repaired, remanufactured,
reconditioned, or otherwise authorized by Kia. These
parts will be covered by the terms and conditions of the
Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty. If
an Authorized EV Kia Dealer declines or fails to carry
out a proper repair or replacement covered by this
limited warranty without charge to you, Kia will (a)
determine if the repair or replacement requested by you
is covered by Replacement Parts and Accessories
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.
This warranty covers Kia Genuine new or
remanufactured replacement parts and Kia Accessories
supplied from Kia America, Inc. and sold by an
Authorized EV Kia Dealer. This includes Kia
Accessories installed by an Authorized EV Kia Dealer
or Kia America, Inc. prior to the retail delivery of a new
Kia Vehicle.
If a covered replacement part or accessory was installed
by anyone other than an Authorized EV Kia Dealer, the
replacement part or accessory will be repaired or
replaced without charge for the parts, but all labor
charges will be your responsibility.

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.
