LOSS, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,

incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitations or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may have other rights which vary from state to state.

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 K900 Kia

function properly at KMA’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. If an Authorized K900 Kia
Dealer declines or fails to carry out a proper repair or
replacement of a factory installed part 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 Anti Perforation Limited Warranty and, if
so, (b) obtain cooperation from an Authorized K900 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 atthe address or phone number provided in the Kia Owner
