•	 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, compact disk player, 
OE DVD / RSE (Rear Seat Entertainment System)  
or navigation system is covered for the first 
36months/36,000 miles.
•	 Battery
 The original equipment 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.
 
•	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.

and drums. It is your obligation to ensure adequate 
inspections to prevent rotor and drum damage due to 
pad/shoe wear.  
Manufacturer Design Choices 
•	The choices made in designing your vehicle,

and are not warranted to be suitable for you or 
anyone else who uses your vehicle.   
Normal Deterioration

polishing, minor adjustments, lubrication, oil/fluid 
changes, filters, anti- freeze coolant replenishment, 
wheel alignment and tire rotation unless such services 
are performed as part of a covered warrantable repair.
•	Normal maintenance items including but not limited 
to spark plugs, engine belts, filters, wiper blades, and 
bulbs except HID bulbs are not warranted. However, 
as a matter of policy, Kia will repair or replace such 
maintenance items of a new vehicle during the 
vehicle’s initial ownership period, but only up to the

Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service, return the vehicle to any 
authorized Kia dealer. Service will be performed without 
charge for diagnosis, parts and labor. In case of 
emergency, see Emergency Service Instructions. 
Exclusions
This warranty does not apply to failures caused by abuse, 
tampering or lack of maintenance; or to any vehicle on 
which the odometer mileage has been altered so that the 
vehicle’s actual mileage cannot be determined. 
STATEMENT	OF	OWNER’S	 RIGHTS	AND	
OBLIGATIONS
What Is Covered By The Warranty
If a vehicle fails a state Smog Check test during the 
coverage period, Kia will repair the vehicle so that it will 
pass a state Smog Check retest. The owner should take the 
vehicle to any authorized dealer for Warranty repairs and 
present a copy of the failed Smog Check test report to the 
dealer. If the owner is not notified within 30 days that a 
performance warranty claim is not valid then the 
manufacture is required to repair the vehicle free of charge. 
In addition, if a warranted part fails because of a defect, 
Kia will repair or replace it at any authorized Kia dealer. 
Any other parts damaged by the failure of a warranted 
part will also be repaired or replaced. The repair and/or 
replacement will be made at no charge to the owner for 
parts, labor and diagnosis. For emergency situations, see 
the instructions under Emergency Service. 
How	Long	Does	The	Warranty	Last
The warranty shall apply for 3 years or 50,000 miles, 
whichever occurs first, except that those parts listed on the 
warranted parts list are covered for 7 years or 70,000 
miles, whichever first occurs. 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. Where 
parts are scheduled for replacement as required 
maintenance, the warranty shall apply until the first 
scheduled maintenance point listed in the Owner’s 
Manual. This warranty begins on the date the vehicle is 
delivered to the original purchaser or on the date the 
vehicle is first placed in service, whichever occurs first.

28CaliforniaEmission  Control Warranty
Incidental or consequential damages such as loss of use 
of the vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience, expense for 
gasoline, telephone, travel or lodging. 
Any vehicle on which the odometer mileage has been 
altered so that actual vehicle mileage cannot readily be 
determined. (When the Owner replaces the speedometer 
or has it replaced by a repair facility, then the 
“Speedometer Replacement Record” on the inside front 
cover must be filled in by an Authorized Kia Dealer.) 
Loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, 
commercial loss or other matter not specifically 
included. 
Damage resulting from the use of a non-Kia part. 
Emergency Service
If emergency Emission Control System Warranty service 
is required and the owner is unable to readily locate an 
authorized Kia dealer or if a warranted part is not 
available within 30 days, then, repairs may be performed 
at any available service establishment, or by the owner, 
using any replacement part. Kia will reimburse the 
owner for the owner’s expenses including diagnostic 
charges for such emergency repair or replacement at 
Kia’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts 
replaced and labor charges based on Kia’s recommended 
time allowance for the warranty repair and the 
geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. Replaced 
parts and copies of paid original receipts must be 
available for presentation to Kia as a condition of 
reimbursement for these emergency repairs. In addition, 
the owner must provide Kia a detailed description 
indicating why the situation was considered an 
emergency and why an authorized Kia dealer was not 
available. Additional information may be obtained by 
calling 1-800-333-4Kia. A repair not being complete 
within 30 days constitutes an emergency.
