warranty manual, Kia Motors America, Inc. (“Kia”)
warrants that it will arrange for an Authorized EV Kia
Dealer at locations of its choice to provide for the repair
of your vehicle if it fails to function properly during
normal use. An authorized EV Kia Dealer 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 and how to locate an
Authorized EV Kia Dealer. (See pg.12 for reference in
locating an Authorized EV Kia Dealer). When an
Authorized EV 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 EV
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 EV Kia Dealer toconduct 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

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
Service. “Date of First Service” means the first date
the Kia Vehicle is delivered to the first retail
purchaser, is leased or is placed into service as a
company vehicle use (e.g., as a demonstrator, rental
or fleet vehicle), whichever is earliest. Moreover,
whenever this manual refers to a warranty period of
months/miles, it means whichever comes first. Any
remaining portion of any warranty, except the 120
months/100,000 miles Power Train (Original
What is Covered
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
New Vehicle Limited Warranty

Warranty also excludes all coverage for any Kia
Vehicle that has been placed into any form of
commercial service, including but not limited to taxi,
route delivery, livery service, or rental.
•Adjustment Coverage
Service Adjustments are covered for the first 12
months/12,000 miles. Service adjustments means
minor repairs not usually associated with the
replacement of parts, such as wheel balance and
alignment, freeplay or tension adjustments of cables,
belts, levers and pedals, body parts and fittings.
3. Exceptions
The items specified below are covered for periods
different from the basic coverage.
•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 or navigation system is
covered for the first 36 months/36,000 miles.
•Traditional 12 Volt Battery (Non EV)
The original equipment Traditional 12 Volt 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.
•Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery Capacity Coverage
The Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery (“EV Battery”)
Capacity warranty coverage period is 10 years or
100,000 miles from the Date of First Service,
whichever comes first, for capacity loss below 70%
of the original battery capacity. This warranty
covers repairs needed to return battery capacity to
70% of original battery capacity. If possible, the
EV battery components will be repaired or replaced,
and the original EV Battery will be returned to the
vehicle. If necessary, the EV Battery will be
replaced with either a new or remanufactured
Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery. Any repair or
replacement made under this Lithium-Ion Polymer
Battery Capacity Coverage may not return your
Lithium-Ion Battery to an “as new” condition with
New Vehicle Limited Warranty6

the original 100% battery capacity. However, it will
provide the vehicle with an EV Battery capacity of
at least 70% of the original battery capacity. This
Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Coverage is subject to
the exclusions listed under the section “What is Not
Covered.”
•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.
•Paint
Paint repairs due to non-impact discoloration,
fading, cracking, chipping, or flaking are covered for
the first 36 months/36,000 miles.
•Seat Belt Warranty-Kansas
The seat belts in Kia Vehicles originally sold in the
State of Kansas are covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty for a period of 120 months,
regardless of mileage, when the repairs are
performed by an Authorized EV Kia Dealer in
Kansas.
4. Limited Liability
Liability under this warranty is limited solely to the
repair or replacement of factory installed parts if
they fail to function properly during normal use.
Such repair or replacement shall be carried out by an
Authorized EV Kia Dealer at its place of business.
This warranty does not include any other expense,
including but not limited to those for any
replacement transportation or for the loss of use of
your Kia vehicle
