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 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 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 
Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty 
and, if so, (b) obtain cooperation from an Authorized 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 
Motors America, Inc. and sold by an Authorized Kia 
Dealer. This includes Kia Accessories installed by an 
Authorized Kia Dealer or Kia Motors 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 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.

receipts, repair orders and invoices in the glove box. All

(“Emission control device” is limited to all devices installed on a Kia Vehicle for the sole or primary purpose of controlling Kia Vehicle’s emissions which were not in general use prior to 1968.) 
3. We have performed all emission control system preparation required by the manufacturer prior to the sale of the Kia Vehicle, as set forth in the current pre-delivery service manual provided by the manufacturer. 
4.  Except as may be provided in Paragraph 5 below, the Kia Vehicle warrantor shall remedy free of charge to the consumer, under terms of the warrantor’s emission performance warranty, if this Kia Vehicle fails to pass an EPA-approved emission test under BOTH of the following conditions: 
a.   If such test is prior to the expiration of three months or 4,000 miles (whichever comes first) from date or mileage at time of delivery to the ultimate buyer.
b.   If the Kia Vehicle has been maintained and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions for proper maintenance and use. 
5.  Check here if the Kia Vehicle is a company car or demonstrator and complete the following:
 The Kia Vehicle with which this statement is delivered was placed in service as a demonstrator or company car prior to delivery. The manufacturer’s emission performance warranty period commenced on the date the vehicle was first placed in service, namely on
