Maintenance Services

Always be extremely careful not to damage the vehicle or injure yourself when performing maintenance or inspection work.

If you have any doubts about an inspection or maintenance on your vehicle, we strongly recommend having the work done by an authorized Kia dealer.

An authorized Kia dealer has technicians trained at the factory and the genuine Kia parts needed to properly maintain your vehicle. For expert advice and quality service, visit an authorized Kia dealer.

Improper, incomplete or insufficient maintenance could lead to problems resulting in vehicle damage, an accident or injury.

Owner Responsibility

NOTICE

It is the owner's responsibility to keep a record of maintenance services.

You should keep all documents proving that proper maintenance has been performed on the vehicle, in accordance with the maintenance schedule tables found in the following pages. You will need these documents to prove your compliance with the service and maintenance requirements for warranties.

Detailed warranty information can be found in the Warranty and Customer Service Information booklet.

Repairs and adjustments required as a result of improper maintenance or failure to have required maintenance performed are not covered by the warranty.

We recommend having maintenance and repairs performed by an authorized Kia dealer. An authorized Kia dealer meets high service quality standards and receives Kia's technical support to provide you with the highest level of service satisfaction.

Owner Maintenance Precautions

Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This section only provides advice for simple maintenance work to be performed.

As explained earlier, many jobs can only be performed by an authorized Kia dealer equipped with special tools.

NOTICE

Poor maintenance by the owner during the warranty period may affect warranty coverage. For details, refer to the Warranty and Customer Service booklet provided with your vehicle. If you are unsure about maintenance or proper procedures, have the service performed by an authorized Kia dealer.

• Performing maintenance on a vehicle can be dangerous. Some maintenance procedures may cause serious injury. If you do not have the necessary skill or knowledge, or the proper tools and equipment to do the job, have it done by an authorized Kia dealer.
• It is dangerous to work under the hood while the engine is running.

It is even more dangerous if you wear jewelry or loose clothing. They could get caught in moving parts and cause injury. So, if you must run the engine while working under the hood, be sure to remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches and necklaces), as well as neckties, scarves and other loose clothing, before approaching the cooling fan.
