•	 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	(Non	Hybrid)
 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.
 * Refer to page 24 for Hybrid Battery Pack  
   Coverage.
•	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.
