Kia has set up a network of over 17,000 roadside assis-
tance providers. Should you accidentally run out of fuel,
require a battery jump, or need help changing a tire, a Kia
Roadside Assistance Representative will dispatch (at no
charge to you) someone to deliver a small quantity of
gas, change a flat tire with your inflated spare, or arrange
a battery jump to allow you to proceed to your destina-
tion. Kia also has a network of over 10,000 locksmiths to
help you when you’re locked out of your Kia, also at no
charge.In the event that mechanical difficulty renders your vehi-
cle undriveable, Kia’s Roadside Assistance
Representative will arrange to transport your vehicle to
the nearest Kia dealer or to an alternative service loca-
tion.
Your vehicle must be accessible to our dispatch transport
vehicle, as determined by our driver, to receive this serv-
ice. In the event that Kia does not have a dealer or an
alternative service location available in a particular loca-
tion, Kia will work with a reputable local service facility to
ensure that you receive prompt service. Warranty repairs
are performed at no cost.
Trip InterruptionTrip interruption expense benefits are provided in the
event that a warranty-related disablement occurs more
than 150 miles from your home, and the repairs require
more than 24 hours to complete. Reasonable reimburse-
ment is included for meals, lodging, or rental car expens-
es. Trip interruption coverage is limited to $100 per day
subject to a three day maximum limit per incident, and
you are required to contact the Kia Roadside Assistance
Center to obtain pre-authorization of expenses. Once the
Kia Roadside Assistance Center gives authorization for
trip interruption benefits, they will assist you in making
the necessary arrangements. Insurance deductibles,
expenses, and claims paid by your insurance company or
other providers are not eligible for reimbursement.

Registering Your Vehicle in a Foreign CountryIf you plan to register your vehicle in a foreign country,
you should confirm that it conforms to the regulations in
that country. Even if you successfully register the vehicle
in a foreign country, you may experience the following
problems and should therefore consider the possibility of
having to deal with them:
1.The fuel specified for your vehicle may be unavailable.If other than the specified fuel is used, it could cause
damage to the engine, the fuel injection system, and
other fuel-related parts which may not be covered
under your New Vehicle Emissions Limited Warranty.
2.We must, therefore, clearly state that when you leave the country in which you purchased your Kia as a new
and register it in another country, problems arising from
the use of fuel other than the specified fuel are not sub-
ject to manufacturer’s warranty. Because vehicles like
yours may not be marketed in the new country of reg-
istration, parts, servicing techniques and tools neces-
sary to maintain and repair your vehicle may be
unavailable.
Even if vehicles like yours are sold there, mechanical
specifications required by the government may vary
enough from the country of purchase to cause addi-
tional problems. 3.There may not be an Authorized Kia Dealer in the area
in which you plan to register your vehicle. You may addi-
tionally experience difficulty in obtaining services in a
foreign country for any number of reasons.
Further, we cannot assume any responsibility for prob-
lems that result from unsatisfactory service or lack of
service outside of the United States.
