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 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 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 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 http://www.kia.com.
Parts replaced under any warranties in the Manual
