Service. “Date of First Service” means the first date
the Kia Vehicle is delivered to the first retail
purchaser, is leased or is placed into service as a
company vehicle use (e.g., as a demonstrator, rental
or fleet vehicle), whichever is earliest. Moreover,
whenever this manual refers to a warranty period of
months/miles, it means whichever comes first. Any
remaining portion of any warranty, except the 120
month/100,000 mile Power Train (Original Owner)
warranty, is fully transferable to subsequent owners.
2. Warranty Coverage
• Basic Warranty Coverage
Except as limited or excluded below, all components
of your new Kia Vehicle are covered for 60
months/60,000 miles from the Date of First Service,
whichever comes first (Basic Limited Warranty
Coverage). This Warranty does not cover wear and
maintenance items, or those items excluded
elsewhere in the Manual. See “Exceptions” and
“What is Not Covered.”
• Power Train Coverage

For Original Owners (defined below), the Power
Train Limited Warranty begins upon expiration of
the 60 month/60,000 mile Basic Limited Warranty
Coverage, and will continue to cover the following
components up to 120 months or 100,000 miles
from the Date of First Service, whichever comes
first. It does not cover normal wear and tear,
maintenance, or those items excluded elsewhere in
this manual. See “Exceptions” and “What is Not
Covered.”

The items covered by the Power Train Limited
Warranty include:
- In the Engine: Cylinder block, cylinder head and
all internal parts, timing gear, seals and gaskets,
valve cover, flywheel, oil pump, water pump and

• 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.
3. Exceptions
The items specified below are covered for periods
different from the basic coverage.
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
북미향 20MY 전차종 (내지1-37).indd 62019-06-14 오전 9:41:04

10New Vehicle Limited Warranty
• 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.
• Maintenance services described as “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”, “Owner Maintenance Services”
or “Appearance Care” in your Owner’s Manual.
Altered Mileage
• Any repair of a Kia Vehicle on which the odometer
has been altered or on which the actual mileage
cannot be reasonably determined.

from such date, whichever occurs first, except that if
the failure to conform to applicable emission
standards results from the failure of a part listed on
the 96 Month/80,000 Mile Emission Warranty Parts
List at the end of this Federal Emission Control
Warranty, this warranty shall be effective for a
period of vehicle operation that does not exceed 96
months or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
3. Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
Each Owner is required to comply with the Written
Maintenance Instructions and a claim under this
warranty may be denied on the basis of
noncompliance by the Owner with such instructions.
If and when it is considered that the vehicle’s
nonconformity with the applicable emission
standards has resulted from the Owner’s
noncompliance with those Written Maintenance
Instructions which the manufacturer considers
necessary for the vehicle to meet the standards, the
Owner may be required to submit evidence of such
compliance, and therefore, receipts and other
documents covering the performance of scheduled
Maintenance Service and proper use in accordance
with the Written Maintenance Instructions,
including but not limited to validated Scheduled
Maintenance Record of this manual, should be
retained by the Owner and should be transferred to
each subsequent Owner of the Kia Vehicle.
4. Use of Kia Genuine Parts
The Kia Vehicle is designed, built and tested using
Kia Genuine Parts so that the Kia Vehicle is able to
perform in conformity with EPA regulations as
provided by this warranty. Accordingly, it is
recommended that any replacement parts used for
maintenance, repair or replacement of the Kia
Vehicle be Kia Genuine Parts, or parts equivalent to
those with which the Kia Vehicle or its engine was
originally equipped.
5. Use of Non-Kia Parts
Owner may elect to use Certified Parts other than
Kia Genuine Parts in the performance of any
maintenance or repairs and such use in itself will not
invalidate this warranty. However, use of other than
Kia Genuine Parts may cause Kia to deny an
Emission Performance Warranty claim if the
Certified Part used is either defective in materials or
workmanship or not equivalent from an emission
standpoint to Kia Genuine Parts.

Your Warranty Rights And Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and Kia Motors
America, Inc., are pleased to explain the emission
control system warranty on your 2020 Kia vehicle. In
California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built
and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog
standards. Kia must warrant the emission control
system on your Kia vehicle for the periods of time
listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect
or improper maintenance of your Kia vehicle.
Your emission control system may include parts such
as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition
system, catalytic converter, and engine computer. Also
included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable
condition exists, Kia will repair your Kia vehicle at no
cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs:
1. If your Kia vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by Kia to ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection. This is your emission control system PERFORMANCE WARRANTY.
2. If any emission-related part on your Kia vehicle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This is your short-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
For 7 years or 70,000 miles for emission related parts, whichever first occurs (8 years or 80,000 miles for Federal Emission Control Warranty) :
If an emission-related part listed in this warranty booklet specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This is your long-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
For 2020 SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) vehicle certified as partial zero-emission vehicle (PZEV) only, all parts covered under the PERFORMANCE WARRANTY and the DEFECT WARRANTY, which are listed in this warranty booklet on the Emission Warranty Parts List, are warranted for 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
California Emission Control Warranty Statement
북미향 20MY 전차종 (내지1-37).indd 242019-06-14 오전 9:41:04

28CaliforniaEmission Control Warranty
Incidental or consequential damages such as loss of use
of the vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience, expense for
gasoline, telephone, travel or lodging.
Any vehicle on which the odometer mileage has been
altered so that actual vehicle mileage cannot readily be
determined. (When the Owner replaces the speedometer
or has it replaced by a repair facility, then the
“Speedometer Replacement Record” on the inside front
cover must be filled in by an Authorized Kia Dealer.)
Loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue,
commercial loss or other matter not specifically
included.
Damage resulting from the use of a non-Kia part.
Emergency Service
If emergency Emission Control System Warranty service
is required and the owner is unable to readily locate an
authorized Kia dealer or if a warranted part is not
available within 30 days, then, repairs may be performed
at any available service establishment, or by the owner,
using any replacement part. Kia will reimburse the
owner for the owner’s expenses including diagnostic
charges for such emergency repair or replacement at
Kia’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based on Kia’s recommended
time allowance for the warranty repair and the
geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. Replaced
parts and copies of paid original receipts must be
available for presentation to Kia as a condition of
reimbursement for these emergency repairs. In addition,
the owner must provide Kia a detailed description
indicating why the situation was considered an
emergency and why an authorized Kia dealer was not
available. Additional information may be obtained by
calling 1-800-333-4Kia. A repair not being complete
within 30 days constitutes an emergency.
