Required Scheduled Maintenance Services
- The required Scheduled Maintenance Services listed in this guide are essential to the proper operation, safety and performance of your Kia West Motor Company vehicle.
- Your Scheduled Maintenance Validation Record should be date stamped by Dealership service personnel to validate each maintenance service as it is completed.
- It is your responsibility to make sure that all the scheduled maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Kia engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified by the Kia West Motor Company will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance.
