In addition, your Authorized EV Kia Dealer will take
care of your service needs using Kia Genuine Parts and

Please see the contents of this manual for coverage terms
and how to locate Authorized EV Kia Dealers. (See

Dealer).

in the showroom. We’re committed to making sure you
enjoy your Kia for years to come.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this limited warranty manual, Kia 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
become the property of Kia.
1. The Warranty Period
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is divided into various warranty periods. For the purpose of all warranties contained in this Manual (other than warranties on replacement parts or accessories installed after the Kia Vehicle was placed into use), the warranty period begins on the Date of First Service. “Date of First Service” means the first date the Kia Vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser, is leased or is placed into service as a company vehicle use (e.g., as a demonstrator, rental or fleet vehicle), whichever is earliest. Moreover, whenever this manual refers to a warranty period of months/miles, it means whichever comes first. Any remaining portion of any warranty, except the 120 months/100,000 miles Power Train (Original

• Vehicles Placed in Commercial Service

minor repairs not usually associated with the
replacement of parts, such as wheel balance and
alignment, freeplay or tension adjustments of cables,
belts, levers and pedals, body parts and fittings.
3. Exceptions
The items specified below are covered for periods
different from the basic coverage.
• Air Conditioner Refrigerant Charge

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

Battery Capacity Coverage may not return your

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

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.
• Seat Belt Warranty-Kansas
The seat belts in Kia Vehicles originally sold in the
State of Kansas are covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty for a period of 120 months,
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
