Scheduled Maintenance Record20
The service records on this and the following pages have
been designed to include the signature of your Authorized
EV Kia Dealer representative or other repair establishment
representative. This signed form is evidence of completion
of maintenance services and should be kept with the
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
workmanship. Alternatively, for your convenience, you
have been provided with a vehicle maintenance Log booklet
for your use in recording your Kia vehicle’s maintenance.
You may use either to organize and maintain your records.
