Owner’s Responsibilities Service and Maintenance Maintenance and Inspection You are responsible for properly operating and maintaining your KIA Vehicle in accordance with the instructions described in your Owner’s Manual. In order to have repairs made under the KIA New Vehicle Warranty, you must retain maintenance inspection records to show that the required maintenance inspections have been performed. For your convenience, a service and maintenance log is included in your Service and Warranty Manual. The “Scheduled Maintenance Record” must be completed whenever scheduled maintenance is performed. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all services are carried out as required and detailed service records are kept and that the service and maintenance records are completed at the time of service. These records should include date of service, odometer reading at the time of the service, a description of the service performed and/or parts installed. If you sell your vehicle you should give your maintenance records to the new owner. Page 9 of 10 WP4 KIA will not necessarily deny a warranty claim solely because you do not have records to show that you have maintained your vehicle. However, damage or failures caused by lack of proper maintenance are not covered under warranty. In some cases, you may be asked to provide proof of servicing and vehicle maintenance to verify whether warranty coverage is available for some types of repairs.
