•	Damaged brake rotors and drums resulting from 
failing to replace brake pads and/or shoes before 
they have worn sufficiently to damage such rotors 
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, 
including the materials chosen for parts and   
components. 
•	Note: A material is not defective or underperforming 
under your warranty because a better, stronger, more 
durable or more suitable material could have been used.
•	Note: All vehicle dimensions and measurements are 
made solely at the discretion of the manufacturer 
and are not warranted to be suitable for you or 
anyone else who uses your vehicle.   
Normal Deterioration
•	Replacement or repair of parts intended to wear 
including the friction wear parts of the brakes, 
including brake pads and shoes, spark plugs, belts, 
clutch linings, filters, wiper blades, bulbs except 
HID bulbs, fuses, and other wear and consumable 
items.
•	Surface corrosion on any part other than the body 
sheet metal panels forming the exterior appearance 
of a Kia Vehicle.
Normal Maintenance
•	Normal maintenance services such as: cleaning and 
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 
first service interval or 12 months/12,000 miles, 
whichever comes first.
•	Maintenance services described as “Scheduled 
Maintenance Services”, “Owner Maintenance Services” 
or “Appearance Care” in your Owner’s Manual. 
Altered Mileage
•	Any repair of a Kia Vehicle on which the odometer 
has been altered or on which the actual mileage 
cannot be reasonably determined.

Emission  Control Warranty
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.
