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
