hours a day, 365 days a year and is accessible by dialing 
1-800-333-4 KIA (4542). Please note that you must

found on the dash of your vehicle on the driver’s side, on 
the door jamb of the driver’s door, on your vehicle’s 
registration or proof of insurance card.       
Kia Motors America reserves the right to limit or deny 
services or other benefits to any owner or driver when, in 
Kia Motors America's judgment, the claims and/or 
service requests are excessive in frequency or type of 
occurrence.
The following is not covered under Roadside Assistance:
■  
Any Kia vehicle that has ever been or should be issued 
a “Salvage” title or similar "branded" title under any 
state's law or has been declared a "total loss" or

company.

Consumer Affairs Procedures
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 pe\
rson 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 re\
quired 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 s\
tate 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.

ivil Code Section 1793.22 or Title I of the 
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, resort to BBB AUTO LINE is not required.
1. Kia participates in BBB AUTO LINE, a mediation/arbitration program administered by the BBB National\
 
Programs, Inc. (3033 Wilson Blvd. Suite 600, Arlington, VA 22201) through local Better Business Bureaus. BBB 
AUTO LINE and Kia have been certified by the Arbitration Certification Program of the California Department of 
Consumer Affairs. 
  If you have a problem arising under a Kia’s written new vehicle warranty, we encourage you to bring it to our 
attention. If we are unable to resolve it, you may file a claim with BBB AUTO LINE. Claims arising under a Kia’s 
written new vehicle limited warranty must be filed with the BBB within six (6) months after the expiration of the 
warranty.
 To file a claim with BBB Auto Line, call 1-800-955-5100. Your call will be automatically directed to the appropriate

ase to an arbitrator at an informal hearing. 
The arbitrator’s decision should ordinarily be issued 40 days from the time your compla\
int is filed (47 days if you

the following occurs:

safety of the vehicle] results in a condition that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is 
driven AND the nonconformity has been subject to repair two or more times by Kia or its agents AND the buyer or 
lessee has directly notified KIA of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR
