GROUP ENG NUMBER 219 MODEL 2014-2021MY Listed Models Page 2 DATE July 2020 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN MAINTENANCE REMINDER FEATURE SUBJECT: This bulletin provides information on setting the “Service Interval Reminder” feature available on most Kia vehicles (refer to model list on page 2). If the service interval reminder is set, the customer will be informed to have the next maintenance service performed, which can positively affect vehicle longevity and performance. The service interval reminder is NOT set from the factory. Setting the first service interval reminder is an integral part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process when checking the Instrument Panel (IP) cluster functions and/or head unit settings. The service interval reminder must be set using the suggestions below: Finalizing new or used vehicle delivery with customer Completion of routine maintenance service After completing any engine repair requiring an engine oil and filter change Replacement or reprogram of the instrument cluster (transfer of current setting) Replacement or reprogram of the head unit (some models) Most vehicles will have the service interval reminder settings enabled using the steering wheel controls and instrument cluster display. On some models, the service interval reminder is set using the head unit touch screen display. Printed TSB copy is for reference only; information may be updated at any time. Always refer to KGIS for the latest information.

However, it is essential that each dealer, at the customer’s first service, question the customer as to their vehicle’s driving conditions. These questions are based on the Owner’s Manual to determine if the Maintenance Reminder should be adjusted to apply the SEVERE setting. KMA’s evaluations are that many and maybe most owners are using their vehicles under such SEVERE conditions and they should therefore have their oil and oil filter changed every 3,000 or 3,750 miles depending on the model. The questions that should be asked of customers by service techs are as follows: Do You Drive Your Vehicle Under Any of the Following Conditions: [The bracketed language is to clarify the meaning of the phrase for the customer] 1. Low speed driving, including idling and driving in heavy traffic and/or with frequent stopand-go conditions [i.e., typical urban traffic] 2. Repeated driving of less than 5 miles [i.e., typical suburban driving] 3. Driving on uphill, downhill and mountain roads [more than 30 of the U.S. states are mountainous or have substantial up/downhill driving] 4. Driving in heavy dust conditions [i.e., much of the land in the “plains states” between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains – states from Texas through North Dakota and Montana can have such dust conditions] 5. Very cold areas [i.e., the Northern tier of the U.S. (these also require a change in oil viscosity during the cold months) 6. Commercial driving [for example, Uber and Lyft, Grub Hub and other delivery services, taxis and limo-type services] If the customer responds yes to any of these questions, the Service Reminder on the dashboard display should be set to the SEVERE mileage and months for that model.
