The latest engineering techniques have been
incorporated into the design and production of your Kia
Vehicle. From the moment you get behind the wheel of
your new Kia Vehicle, you’ll notice how satisfying it
feels; a feeling you’ll appreciate for as long as you own
your Kia Vehicle. You’ll also be pleased by how strongly
we stand behind every Kia Vehicle. The New vehicle 60
month/60,000 Miles Limited Warranty described in this
manual is one of the finest available.
This warranty and consumer manual details the warranties
provided by Kia. You should consult this manual and your
Owner’s Manual to ascertain the maintenance intervals
you need to follow to maintain your warranty coverage.
In addition, your Authorized Kia Dealer will take care of
your service needs using Kia Genuine Parts and Kia
Genuine Accessories. These parts are covered by a
“Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty”.
Please see the contents of this manual for coverage
terms.
At Kia, it’s not enough to sell vehicles that look pleasing
in the showroom. We’re committed to making sure you
enjoy your Kia for years to come.

must follow the maintenance requirements described in
your Owner’s Manual for severe driving conditions in

may be necessary in some instances for you to prove that

case questions rise about the services requested and
provided.

continuity in service and maintenance. If you have any
questions or need assistance regarding this warranty,
refer to “When You Need to Talk to Kia” starting on
Page 39.
