fuse KIA NIRO PHEV 2021 Warranty and Consumer Information Guide

10New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Manual. In the event that problems result to your
vehicle due to service from vendors who use
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.

82New Hampshire Consumer Notice
The New Hampshire New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law, RSA 357-D, applies to new motor vehicles sold or leased
(for two or more years) in the State of New Hampshire. A new motor vehicle is defined as a passenger vehicle,
motorcycle, or truck with a gross vehicle weight not exceeding 11,000 pounds.
If, during the express warranty period, you discover a defect which substantially impairs the use, market value, or
safety or this vehicle, and it has not been successfully repaired after three repair att\
empts by the manufacturer, its agent,
or an authorized dealer, or it has been out of service by reason of repair of one or more nonconformities, defects, or
conditions for a cumulative total of thirty business days, you may be entitled to apply for a comparable replacement \
or
a refund of purchase price plus incidental damages less a reasonable all\
owance for use.
In order for a repair attempt to qualify, you must obtain a written repair order. Neither the manufacturer nor any agent
of the manufacturer (including the dealership service) may refuse to provide you with a written repair order at your
request.
The vehicle is deemed to be out of service if it is in for repair for a major\
ity of the day.
You cannot use the New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law if you elect to use the manufacturer’s dispute settlement
mechanism.
You may not use the New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law if you have stopped making payments on any lease or
financing agreement because of the vehicle’s condition.
The New Hampshire Motor Vehicle Arbitration Program includes other eligibility requirements which\
you must meet
to qualify.
