Vehicle care
may occur or use a vehicle cover. (Depending on the vehicle, the type of exterior
trim applied such as spoiler may differ.)
• If your vehicle is damaged and requires any metal repair or replacement, be sure
the body shop applies anti-corrosion materials to the parts repaired or replaced.
• Prevent chemicals such as perfume, cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner, and air
freshener from contacting the interior parts because they may cause damage or
discolouration. If they do contact the interior parts, wipe them off immediately. If
necessary, use a mixture of warm water and mild non-detergent cleaner (test all
cleaners on a concealed area before use). Use proper car cleaner to clean interior
parts.
• Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
◦ Automatic car wash which uses rotating brushes should not be used as this can
damage the surface of your vehicle. A steam cleaner which washes the vehicle
surface at high temperature may result the oil to adhere and leave stains that is
difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel or sponge) when washing your vehicle and
dry with a microfiber towel. When you hand wash your vehicle, you should not use
a cleaner that finishes with wax. If the vehicle surface is too dirty (sand, dirt, dust,
contaminant, etc.), clean the surface with water before washing the car.
◦ Do not use any polish protector such as a detergent, an abrasive and a polish. In
case wax is applied, remove the wax immediately using a silicon remover and if
any tar or tar contaminant is on the surface use a tar remover to clean. However,
be careful not to apply too much pressure on the painted area.
◦ In case of matte paint finish vehicles, it is impossible to modify only the dam
aged area and repair of the whole part is necessary. If the vehicle is damaged and
painting is required, we recommend that you have your vehicle maintained and
repaired by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner. Take extreme care, as it is
difficult to restore the quality after the repair.
