Kia Ceed 2006 User manual

kia,

the

company

Now that you are the owner of a Kia Vehicle, you’ll probably be

asked a lot of questions about your vehicle and the company like

“What is a Kia?,” “Who is Kia?,” “What does ‘Kia’ mean?”

Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in

Korea. It’s a company that has thousands of employees focused

on building high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.

The first syllable, Ki, in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to

the world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syl-

lable, a, means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from”

or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”

Enjoy your Vehicle!

Thank you for choosing a Kia vehicle.

When you require service, remember that your dealer

knows your vehicle best. Your dealer has factory-trained

technicians, recommended special tools, genuine Kia

replacement parts and is dedicated to your complete sat-

isfaction.

Because subsequent owners require this important infor-

mation as well, this publication should remain with the

vehicle if it is sold.

tenance and safety information about your new vehicle. It

is supplemented by a Warranty and Maintenance book

that provides important information on all warranties

regarding your vehicle. We urge you to read these publi-

cations carefully and follow the recommendations to help
