•	 Original	Owner
  An Original Owner is defined as the first retail 
purchaser or lessee of the Kia Vehicle who takes 
delivery of the Kia Vehicle on its Date of First 
Service. If the Kia Vehicle was first placed in service 
as a lease vehicle, and the lessee purchases the 
vehicle at the end of the lease, the 120 
month/100,000 mile Power Train Limited Warranty 
remains in effect. The Power Train Limited 
Warranty is not transferable to subsequent owners.
•	 Vehicles	Placed	in	Commercial	Service
  The 120 month/100,000 mile Power Train Limited 
Warranty also excludes all coverage for any Kia 
Vehicle that has been placed into any form of 
commercial service, including but not limited to 
taxi, route delivery, livery service, or rental.
•	 Adjustment	Coverage
 
Service Adjustments are covered for the first 12 months/12,000 miles. Service adjustments means 
minor repairs not usually associated with the 
replacement of parts, such as wheel balance and 
alignment, freeplay or tension adjustments of cables, 
belts, levers and pedals, engine adjustments (idle 
speed, etc.), body parts and fittings.

reduced quality products, your vehicle warranties 
will not provide coverage.   
•	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 except HID 
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 except HID 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.
