Trip interruption
Trip interruption expense benefits are provided in the event that
a warranty-related disablement occurs more than 150 miles
from your home, and the repairs require more than 24 hours to
complete. Reasonable reimbursement is included for meals,
lodging, or rental car expenses. Trip interruption coverage is lim-
ited to $100 per day subject to a three day maximum limit per
incident. You must contact the Kia Roadside Assistance Center
to obtain pre-authorization of expenses. Once the Kia Roadside
Assistance Center gives authorization for trip interruption bene-
fits, they will assist you in making the necessary arrangements.
Insurance deductibles, expenses, and claims paid by your
insurance company or other providers are not eligible for reim-
bursement.
Fleet vehicles are excluded from reimbursement under Kia’s
Trip Interruption Policy.
Registering your vehicle in a foreign country
If you plan to register your vehicle in a foreign country, you
should confirm that it conforms to the regulations in that coun-
try. Even if you successfully register the vehicle in a foreign
country, you may experience the following problems and should
therefore consider the possibility of having to deal with them:
1. The fuel specified for your vehicle may be unavailable. If other
than the specified fuel is used, it could cause damage to the
engine, the fuel injection system, and other fuel-related parts
which may not be covered under your New Vehicle Emissions
Limited Warranty.
2. We must, therefore, clearly state that when you leave the
country in which you purchased your Kia new and register it
in another country, problems arising from the use of fuel other
than the specified fuel are not subject to manufacturer’s war-
ranty. Because vehicles like yours may not be marketed in the
new country of registration, parts, servicing techniques and
tools necessary to maintain and repair your vehicle may be
unavailable.
Even if vehicles like yours are sold there, mechanical specifi-
cations required by the government may vary enough from
the country of purchase to cause additional problems.
3. There may not be an Authorized Kia Dealer in the area in
which you plan to register your vehicle. You may additionally
experience difficulty in obtaining services in a foreign country
for any number of reasons.
Further, we cannot assume any responsibility for problems that
result from unsatisfactory service or lack of service outside of
the United States.
