mileage KIA SOUL EV 2018 Warranty and Consumer Information Guide

Warranty also excludes all coverage for any Kia
Vehicle that has been placed into any form of
commercial service, including but not limited to taxi,
route delivery, livery service, or rental.
•Adjustment Coverage
Service Adjustments are covered for the first 12
months/12,000 miles. Service adjustments means
minor repairs not usually associated with the
replacement of parts, such as wheel balance and
alignment, freeplay or tension adjustments of cables,
belts, levers and pedals, body parts and fittings.
3. Exceptions
The items specified below are covered for periods
different from the basic coverage.
•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 or navigation system is
covered for the first 36 months/36,000 miles.
•Traditional 12 Volt Battery (Non EV)
The original equipment Traditional 12 Volt Battery
is covered by a limited warranty for a period of 36
months/36,000 miles. During 36 months/36,000
miles 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.
•Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery Capacity Coverage
The Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery (“EV Battery”)
Capacity warranty coverage period is 10 years or
100,000 miles from the Date of First Service,
whichever comes first, for capacity loss below 70%
of the original battery capacity. This warranty
covers repairs needed to return battery capacity to
70% of original battery capacity. If possible, the
EV battery components will be repaired or replaced,
and the original EV Battery will be returned to the
vehicle. If necessary, the EV Battery will be
replaced with either a new or remanufactured
Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery. Any repair or
replacement made under this Lithium-Ion Polymer
Battery Capacity Coverage may not return your
Lithium-Ion Battery to an “as new” condition with
New Vehicle Limited Warranty6

the original 100% battery capacity. However, it will
provide the vehicle with an EV Battery capacity of
at least 70% of the original battery capacity. This
Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Coverage is subject to
the exclusions listed under the section “What is Not
Covered.”
•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.
•Paint
Paint repairs due to non-impact discoloration,
fading, cracking, chipping, or flaking are covered for
the first 36 months/36,000 miles.
•Seat Belt Warranty-Kansas
The seat belts in Kia Vehicles originally sold in the
State of Kansas are covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty for a period of 120 months,
regardless of mileage, when the repairs are
performed by an Authorized EV Kia Dealer in
Kansas.
4. Limited Liability
Liability under this warranty is limited solely to the
repair or replacement of factory installed parts if
they fail to function properly during normal use.
Such repair or replacement shall be carried out by an
Authorized EV Kia Dealer at its place of business.
This warranty does not include any other expense,
including but not limited to those for any
replacement transportation or for the loss of use of
your Kia vehicle

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.

Consumer Affairs Procedures28
The purpose of the AUTO LINE is to settle disputes between vehicle manufacturers and consumers. The AUTO LINE
staff will record the details of your concern by telephone and will ask for the same information as in Step 2.
The AUTO LINE program consists of two parts - mediation and arbitration. The BBB AUTO LINE staff will provide
suggestions for resolving the problem during mediation. If a satisfactory resolution has not been achieved during
mediation, you will have the opportunity to present your case personally before an impartial person or three person
panel. This is the arbitration part of AUTO LINE. The arbitrator(s) will make a decision after the arbitration hearing.
If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding on you and Kia. However, in some states, if the decision is not
accepted, it may be introduced either by you or Kia as evidence in subsequent court action. Disputes handled through
the BBB Auto Line process are usually resolved within 40 days of your contacting the BBB. If you have not contacted
Kia Motors America, Inc. first regarding your complaint, the arbitration process will take no longer than 47 days.
You must use BBB AUTO LINE prior to seeking remedies available to you through a court action pursuant to the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (the “ACT”). In addition, you must use BBB AUTO LINE if you are required to do so
prior to seeking remedies available under the “Lemon Law” of your state. However, if state law permits and if you
choose to seek remedies which are not created by the Act, you are not required to use BBB AUTO LINE, although that
option is still available to you. The following section has been developed with information on contacting Kia and on
the basic provisions of your State’s “Lemon Laws”. In some states, your Kia dealership may provide you with Lemon
Law disclosure information in addition to the booklet in accordance with state law. Other states may have their own
state-operated complaint resolution processes. Your eligibility for this program is determined by your vehicle’s age,
mileage and other contributing factors.
