This warranty and consumer manual details the warranties
provided by Kia. You should consult this manual and your

Please see the contents of this manual for coverage terms
and how to locate Authorized EV Kia Dealers. (See

At Kia, it’s not enough to sell vehicles that look pleasing
in the showroom. We’re committed to making sure you
enjoy your Kia for years to come.

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.
