Subject to the other terms and conditions of this limited 
warranty manual, Kia Motors 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. 
Authorized service facilities will remedy such failures to 
function properly at Kia’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. When an Authorized Kia Dealer makes 
necessary repairs pursuant to the warranty, it may do so 
using parts that are new, repaired, remanufactured, 
reconditioned, or otherwise authorized by Kia. These 
parts will be covered by the terms and conditions of the 
Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty. If 
an Authorized Kia Dealer declines or fails to carry out a 
proper repair or replacement 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.
com.   
Parts replaced under any warranties in the Manual 
become the property of Kia.
1.  The Warranty Period
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is divided into 
various warranty periods. For the purpose of all 
warranties contained in this Manual(other than 
warranties on replacement parts or accessories 
installed after the Kia Vehicle was placed into use), 
the warranty period begins on the Date of First 
What is Covered

•	 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, compact disk player, 
OE DVD / RSE (Rear Seat Entertainment System)  
or navigation system is covered for the first 
36months/36,000 miles.
•	 Battery
 The original equipment 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.
 
•	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.

been issued a “salvage” title or similar

to make changes in vehicles built and/or sold by Kia 
and its Authorized Kia Dealers at any time without

miles from the date of first retail delivery or when it is 
first put into service, whichever comes first.

which is caused by industrial fallout, accident, 
damage, abuse, vehicle modifications or damaging 
or corrosive cargo in the Kia Vehicle.
•  Any surface corrosion of the Kia Vehicle which does 
not result in perforation, such as that caused 
typically by sand, salt, hail or stones.

Vehicle which is not a body sheet metal panel. As 
used herein, “body sheet metal panel” specifically 
excludes all parts which are components of the

not sold or approved by Kia including the resultant

Anti-Perforation Limited Warranty
•  Any  perforation  due  to  corrosion  of  the  Kia  Vehicle 
caused in whole or in part by a failure to maintain 
the Kia Vehicle in accordance with the procedures 
specified in paragraph 3. “Your Responsibilities”
3.		Your	Responsibilities
Inspect the body sheet metal panels of your Kia Vehicle 
on a regular basis (at least monthly) to detect any chips 
or scratches in the paint or protective coating and to 
repair them immediately.
Special care should be taken to protect your Kia Vehicle 
from corrosion under the following conditions:
•  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.
•  It  is  important  to  keep  the  drain  holes  in  the  lower 
edges of the body clear.
•  If your Kia Vehicle is damaged due to an accident or 
any event which may cause damage to the paint, 
have your Kia Vehicle repaired as soon as possible.
•  If  you  carry  special  cargo,  such  as  chemicals, 
fertilizers, deicing salt, or other corrosive substances, 
be sure that such materials are well packaged and 
sealed. Any leakage of such materials will void this 
warranty where the leakage has occurred.
•   If  you  drive  frequently  on  gravel  roads,  we 
recommend that you install stone guards behind 
each wheel.
4.  To Get Warranty Service
You must take your Kia Vehicle, along with this 
manual, to any Authorized Kia Dealer in the United 
States during its normal service hours.
If you have any questions or need assistance regarding 
this warranty, refer to the “When You Need to Talk to 
Kia” starting on Page 39.

repair or replacement of factory installed parts that fails 
to function properly. Such repair or replacement shall be 
carried out by an Authorized Kia Dealer at its place of

expense, including but not limited to those for any 
replacement transportation or for the loss of use of your 
Kia vehicle.
