stop KIA OPTIMA HYBRID 2016 Warranty and Consumer Information Guide

•Air Conditioner Refrigerant Charge
Air conditioner refrigerant charge is covered for the
first 12 months of the warranty period regardless of
mileage. Over the balance of the warranty period,
refrigerant charge is covered only when replenished
as part of a warranty repair.
•Audio / Entertainment System
An original equipment radio, compact disk player,
OE DVD / RSE (Rear Seat Entertainment System)
or navigation system is covered for the first
36months/36,000 miles.
•Battery (Non Hybrid)
The original equipment battery is covered by a
limited warranty for a period of 24 months,
regardless of mileage. During 24 months of the
warranty period, a defective battery will be replaced
at no cost to you. Kia will cover diagnostic,
installation and replacement battery costs.
Kia will not reimburse you for any portion of the
cost of a non-Kia replacement battery.
* Refer to page 24 for Hybrid Battery Pack
Coverage.
•Brake and Clutch Linings
Brake linings, including pads and shoes, and clutch
linings are warranted for 12 months/12,000 miles,
whichever comes first, if they fail to function
properly during normal use. Brake linings are
designed to wear out as part of the process of
stopping your vehicle safely and consistently while
providing reasonable levels of noise and vibration
during normal use. Brake or clutch linings function
properly during normal use even if they need
replacement in less than the full warranty period.
Rather, most replacements at lower mileage are
required by driver usage habits which can cause high
rates of wear. In addition, brake lining wear is
substantially increased by environmental conditions
such as exposure to road salt or due to regular
driving in stop and go rush hour traffic. The more
wear factors which are present, the more rapid the
wear. Resulting repairs and replacements of linings
are not covered by your warranty.

New Hampshire Consumer Notice82
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 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 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 allowance 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 majority 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.
