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

- In the Differentials: Front and rear differential

• 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.

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.

Anti-Perforation Limited Warranty
• Any perforation due to corrosion of the Kia Vehicle
caused in whole or in part by a failure to maintain
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.

manual, to any Authorized Kia Dealer in the United
