Emission Control Warranty
Your Warranty Rights And Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and Kia Motors
America, Inc., are pleased to explain the emission
control system warranty on your 2018 Kia vehicle. In
California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built
and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog
standards. Kia must warrant the emission control
system on your Kia vehicle for the periods of time
listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect
or improper maintenance of your Kia vehicle.
Your emission control system may include parts such
as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition
system, catalytic converter, and engine computer. Also
included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable
condition exists, Kia will repair your Kia vehicle at no
cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs:
1.If your Kia vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all
necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by Kia to
ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection. This is your
emission control system PERFORMANCE WARRANTY.
2.If any emission-related part on your Kia vehicle is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This
is your short-term emission control system DEFECTS
WARRANTY.
For 7 years or 70,000 miles for emission related parts,
whichever first occurs (8 years or 80,000 miles for Federal
Emission Control Warranty) :
If an emission-related part listed in this warranty booklet
specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This
is your long-term emission control system DEFECTS
WARRANTY.
For 2018 SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) vehicle
certified as Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle(PZEV) only, all
parts covered under the PERFORMANCE WARRANTY and
the DEFECT WARRANTY, which are listed in this warranty
booklet on the Emission Warranty Parts List, are warranted for
15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

What The Owner Must Do
It is your responsibility to perform the required
maintenance and use the vehicle in accordance with
Kia’s written instructions. Warranty coverage will not be
denied solely because there is no record of maintenance.
However, failures caused by lack of required
maintenance are not covered by the warranty. To avoid
questions as to whether the vehicle maintenance has
been performed, Kia urges that you retain all receipts
and/or maintenance records indicating that service has
been performed on the vehicle and these documents
should be transferred to any subsequent owner of the
vehicle.
Service
MAINTENANCE SERVICE CAN BE PERFORMED
BY ANY QUALIFIED SERVICE OUTLET OR BY
THE OWNER. HOWEVER, EXCEPT IN AN
EMERGENCY SITUATION (SEE EMERGENCY
SERVICE), WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE
PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED KIA DEALER.
Parts
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ANY REPLACEMENT
PARTS USED FOR MAINTENANCE OR FOR THE
REPAIR OF EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEMS BE
NEW, KIA GENUINE PARTS. However, the warranty
obligations are not dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement parts. The owner may
elect to use non-Kia parts for maintenance purposes. Use
of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality
may impair the effectiveness of emissions control
systems.
What Is Not Covered By Emission Warranty
Malfunctions in any part caused by misuse, alteration,
tampering, disconnection or improper or inadequate
maintenance.
Damage to catalytic converter due to use of leaded
gasoline.
Damage resulting from fire, accident, negligence, act of
God or other events beyond the control of Kia.
Maintenance replacement parts (such as spark plugs)
beyond the first scheduled replacement point.
