Emission Defect Warranty

Federal
Emission Control Warranty20
Important Notice:
This warranty has been prepared in accordance with
certain regulations promulgated by the EPA which
provide that a remedy will be available under this
warranty only when a vehicle fails an EPA approved
emission short test, generally under circumstances which
subject the Owner to a penalty under local, state or
federal law because of such failure. As of the date of the
printing of this warranty, many states did not have
vehicle inspection programs for testing vehicles for
conformity with such short test and had not enacted laws
subjecting vehicle Owners to such penalties. Therefore,
it is possible that in many states or local areas no remedy
will be available under this warranty as a matter of law.
1. Warranty
Pursuant to Section 207 (b) of the Clean Air Act,
Kia warrants to each Owner that if:
(a) The Kia Vehicle is maintained and operated in
accordance with the Written Maintenance
Instructions; and
(b)The Kia Vehicle fails to conform at any time
during the term of this warranty to theapplicable emission standards of the EPA, as
judged by an emission test approved by the
EPA; and
(c) Such nonconformity results or will result in the
Owner having to bear any penalty or other
sanction (including the denial of the right to use
the Kia Vehicle) under local, state or Federal
law, Kia shall remedy the nonconformity at no
cost to Owner except that if the Kia Vehicle has
been in operation for more than 24,000 miles or
24 months since the date of retail delivery or
first use of the Kia Vehicle, Kia shall be
required to remedy the nonconformity only if it
results from the failure of an Emission
Warranty Part listed on the 96 Month/80,000
Mile Emission Warranty Parts List.
2. Term of Warranty
This warranty shall commence on either the date the
Kia Vehicle is sold to the first retail delivery or owner,
or on the date the Kia Vehicle is first placed in service
(for example, a demonstrator, lease, or company car
use), whichever is earlier. This warranty shall be
effective for a period 2 years or 24,000 miles
Emission Performance Warranty

21
from such date, whichever occurs first, except that if
the failure to conform to applicable emission
standards results from the failure of a part listed on
the 96 Month/80,000 Mile Emission Warranty Parts
List at the end of this Federal Emission Control
Warranty, this warranty shall be effective for a
period of vehicle operation that does not exceed 96
months or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
3. Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
Each Owner is required to comply with the Written
Maintenance Instructions and a claim under this
warranty may be denied on the basis of
noncompliance by the Owner with such instructions.
If and when it is considered that the vehicle’s
nonconformity with the applicable emission
standards has resulted from the Owner’s
noncompliance with those Written Maintenance
Instructions which the manufacturer considers
necessary for the vehicle to meet the standards, the
Owner may be required to submit evidence of such
compliance, and therefore, receipts and other
documents covering the performance of scheduled
Maintenance Service and proper use in accordance
with the Written Maintenance Instructions,
including but not limited to validated ScheduledMaintenance Record of this manual, should be
retained by the Owner and should be transferred to
each subsequent Owner of the Kia Vehicle.
4. Use of Kia Genuine Parts
The Kia Vehicle is designed, built and tested using
Kia Genuine Parts so that the Kia Vehicle is able to
perform in conformity with EPA regulations as
provided by this warranty. Accordingly, it is
recommended that any replacement parts used for
maintenance, repair or replacement of the Kia
Vehicle be Kia Genuine Parts, or parts equivalent to
those with which the Kia Vehicle or its engine was
originally equipped.
5. Use of Non-Kia Parts
Owner may elect to use Certified Parts other than
Kia Genuine Parts in the performance of any
maintenance or repairs and such use in itself will not
invalidate this warranty. However, use of other than
Kia Genuine Parts may cause Kia to deny an
Emission Performance Warranty claim if the
Certified Part used is either defective in materials or
workmanship or not equivalent from an emission
standpoint to Kia Genuine Parts.

6.Repair or Replacement by an Authorized Kia
Dealer
Your Kia Dealer shall make all adjustments, repairs
or replacements necessary to assure the Kia Vehicle
complies with applicable emission standards of the
EPA and that the Kia Vehicle will continue to
comply during the remainder of the term of this
warranty (if proper maintenance and operation are
continued).
7. Warranty Claim Procedures
A warranty claim may be submitted by presenting
the Kia Vehicle to any Authorized Kia Dealer during
the Authorized Kia Dealer’s regular business hours,
together with a copy of a failed emissions test. Upon
presentation of a claim, Kia shall notify the Owner
within 30 days, or such shorter period of time within
which repair is required by local, state or federal
law, that the claim will be honored or shall provide
the Owner in writing with an explanation of the
basis upon which the claim is being denied.
Failure to notify the Owner within such time period
shall cause Kia to be responsible for repairing theKia Vehicle free of charge to the Owner, unless such
failure is attributable to the Owner or to events
beyond the control of Kia or the Authorized Kia
Dealer.
8. Maintenance by Other Than an Authorized Kia
Dealer
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices and systems covered by this
warranty may be performed by any automotive
repair establishment or individual using Certified
Parts. However, such non-Kia Certified Parts will
not be covered by Kia’s emission system warranties
should such parts fail at a later date.

rights and responsibilities, you should contact the
