covered for the first 36 months/36,000 miles.
•	 Traditional	12	Volt	Battery	(Non	EV)

Battery Capacity Coverage may not return your 
Lithium-Ion Battery to an “as new” condition with 
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.

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
