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 or
are required by federal regulation and are not
warranted to be suitable for you or anyone who uses
your vehicle.
Normal Deterioration

including the friction wear parts of the brakes,
including brake pads and shoes, belts, clutch linings,
filters, wiper blades, bulbs, fuses, and other wear and

sheet metal panels forming the exterior appearance
of a Kia Vehicle.
Normal Maintenance

changes, filters, anti- freeze coolant replenishment,
wheel alignment and tire rotation unless such services
are performed as part of a covered warrantable repair.

to belts, filters, wiper blades, and 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
