Subject to the other terms and conditions of this limited 
warranty manual, Kia America, Inc. (“Kia”) warrants 
that it will arrange for an authorized Kia dealer at 
locations of its choice to provide for the repair of your 
vehicle if it fails to function properly during normal use. 
Such service facilities will remedy such failures to 
function properly at Kia America, Inc.’s expense, if you 
present your vehicle to such a service facility during its 
normal operating hours, provide sufficient information to 
permit a proper identification and diagnosis of the failure 
to function, and permit the facility adequate time to 
perform the necessary repair. As this obligation is 
subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this 
Manual, you should refer to the manual to understand 
which repairs and replacements are covered by this 
warranty. If an Authorized Kia Dealer declines or fails to 
carry out a proper repair or replacement of a factory 
installed part covered by this limited warranty without 
charge to you, Kia will (a) determine if the repair or 
replacement requested by you is covered by 
Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty 
and, if so, (b) obtain cooperation from an Authorized Kia 
Dealer to conduct such repair or replacement without 
charge to you. However, Kia’s obligation to do (a) and 
(b) requires you to contact the Kia Consumer Assistance 
Center and provide all materials needed by them to carry 
out those obligations to you. The Center can be 
contacted at the address or phone number provided in 
the Kia Owner Satisfaction and Assistance Section of 
this manual, or can also be found at the Kia website at 
http://www.kia.com.   
This warranty covers Kia Genuine new or remanufactured 
replacement parts and Kia Accessories  supplied from Kia 
America, Inc. and sold by an Authorized Kia Dealer. This 
includes Kia Accessories installed by an Authorized Kia 
Dealer or Kia America, Inc. prior to the retail delivery of 
a new Kia Vehicle. 
If a covered replacement part or accessory was installed 
by anyone other than an Authorized Kia Dealer, the 
replacement part or accessory will be repaired or 
replaced without charge for the parts, but all labor 
charges will be your responsibility.

Scheduled Maintenance Record
The service records on this and the following pages have 
been designed to include the signature of your Authorized 
Kia Dealer representative or other repair establishment

receipts, repair orders and invoices in the glove box. All 
records should be given to any subsequent owner of the Kia 
Vehicle. Claims made during the warranty term will not 
qualify under the warranty if resulting from lack of 
maintenance rather than from defective material or

your use in recording your Kia vehicle’s maintenance. You 
may use either to organize and maintain your records.

4.  Except as may be provided in Paragraph 5 below, the Kia Vehicle warrantor shall remedy free of charge to the consumer, under terms of the warrantor’s emission performance warranty, if this Kia Vehicle fails to pass an EPA-approved emission test under BOTH of the following conditions: 
a.   If such test is prior to the expiration of three months or 4,000 miles (whichever comes first) from date or mileage at time of delivery to the ultimate buyer.
b.   If the Kia Vehicle has been maintained and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions for proper maintenance and use. 
5.  Check here if the Kia Vehicle is a company car or demonstrator and complete the following:
