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 this New
Vehicle 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.

Parts replaced under any warranties in the Manual
become the property of Kia.
