Your	Warranty	Rights	And	Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and Kia Motors 
America, Inc., are pleased to explain the emission 
control system warranty on your 2021 Kia vehicle. In 
California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built 
and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog 
standards. Kia must warrant the emission control 
system on your Kia vehicle for the periods of time 
listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect 
or improper maintenance of your Kia vehicle.
Your emission control system may include parts such 
as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition 
system, catalytic converter, and engine computer. Also 
included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other 
emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable 
condition exists, Kia will repair your Kia vehicle at no 
cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs:
1.  If your Kia vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by Kia to ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection. This is your emission control system PERFORMANCE WARRANTY. 
2.  If any emission-related part on your Kia vehicle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This is your short-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
For 7 years or 70,000 miles for emission related parts, whichever first occurs (8 years or 80,000 miles for Federal Emission Control Warranty) :
 If an emission-related part listed in this warranty booklet specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This is your long-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
For 2021 SULEV(Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle), all parts covered under the PERFORMANCE WARRANTY and the DEFECT WARRANTY, which are listed in this warranty booklet on the Emission Warranty Parts List, are warranted for 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

What	The	Owner	Must	Do
It is your responsibility to perform the required 
maintenance and use the vehicle in accordance with 
Kia’s written instructions. Warranty coverage will not be 
denied solely because there is no record of maintenance. 
However, failures caused by lack of required 
maintenance are not covered by the warranty. To avoid 
questions as to whether the vehicle maintenance has 
been performed, Kia urges that you retain all receipts 
and/or maintenance records indicating that service has 
been performed on the vehicle and these documents 
should be transferred to any subsequent owner of the 
vehicle. 
Service
MAINTENANCE SERVICE CAN BE PERFORMED 
BY ANY QUALIFIED SERVICE OUTLET OR BY 
THE OWNER. HOWEVER, EXCEPT IN AN 
EMERGENCY SITUATION (SEE EMERGENCY 
SERVICE), WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE 
PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED KIA DEALER. 
Parts
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ANY REPLACEMENT 
PARTS USED FOR MAINTENANCE OR FOR THE 
REPAIR OF EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEMS BE 
NEW, KIA GENUINE PARTS. However, the warranty 
obligations are not dependent upon the use of any 
particular brand of replacement parts. The owner may 
elect to use non-Kia parts for maintenance purposes. Use 
of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality 
may impair the effectiveness of emissions control systems. 
What Is Not Covered By Emission Warranty
Malfunctions in any part caused by misuse, alteration, 
tampering, disconnection or improper or inadequate 
maintenance. 
Damage to catalytic converter due to use of leaded 
gasoline. 
Damage resulting from fire, accident, negligence, act of 
God or other events beyond the control of Kia. 
Maintenance replacement parts (such as spark plugs) 
beyond the first scheduled replacement point.
