fuse KIA OPTIMA HYBRID 2014 Warranty and Consumer Information Guide

New Vehicle Limited Warranty10
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, 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 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) and/or registered in the State of New Hampshir\
e. A new motor vehicle is defined as a
passenger vehicle, motorcycle, or truck with a gross vehicle weight not \
exceeding 9,000 pounds.
If, during the express warranty period, you discover a defect which subs\
tantially impairs the use, market value, or
safety or this vehicle, and it has not been successfully repaired after \
three repair attempts by the manufacturer, its agent,
or an authorized dealer, or it has been out of service by reason of repair of one or more nonco\
nformities, defects, or
conditions for a cumulative total of thirty business days, you may be en\
titled 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 p\
rovide 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 \
majority of the day.
You cannot use the New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law if you elect to use the manufacturer’s dispute settlement
mechanism. Forms for electing to proceed before the New Hampshire Motor \
Vehicle Arbitration Board should be
included with your new vehicle on delivery.
Y ou 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.
