Maintenance	Records
You are required to retain maintenance records since it 
may be necessary in some instances for you to prove that 
the required maintenance has been performed. The

should be filled in when regular maintenance is 
performed. Keep all receipts and make them available in

repair them immediately.
Special care should be taken to protect your Kia Vehicle

•  If  you  drive  on  salted  roads,  or  if  you  drive  near  the 
ocean, flush the underbody as needed, and at least 
weekly with clean unsalted water.

have your Kia Vehicle repaired as soon as possible.

fertilizers, deicing salt, or other corrosive substances, 
be sure that such materials are well packaged and
