Two key off-road performance features are hill start assist and downhill brake control. Each of these features is crucial for controlling the SUV's performance on hilly roads, either by preventing the Sorento from rolling backward or helping the SUV maintain a steady crawling speed. With these features, you can confidently steer on steep inclines or declines. Exterior Features Exterior features are also important for enhancing the off-road capabilities of an SUV. The Sorento LX is equipped with 17-inch wheels, which are crafted with a sturdy alloy material that can tolerate the stress of off-road driving.

The cargo room in this SUV can expand to 62.8 cubic feet behind the first-row seats when the cargo floor level is low and the second-row seats are folded if you ever need more room. Fuel Economy The Kia Seltos has excellent fuel efficiency. This LX AWD gets an estimated 27 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the freeway, and 29 MPG combined. The city fuel performance may be especially important if you spend a lot of time in the suburbs or low-speed city traffic.

Kia's are fuel-efficient, reliable, and cater to every budget. Each new Kia also comes with an industry-leading warranty to give you extra peace of mind. As your Kia dealer, we want to tell you about some of the main features of your Kia warranty. more Basic Warranty This warranty covers most systems and components in your vehicle against any defect. Kia's are built to high standards of quality control, and in the unlikely event that a labor or material-related issue appears, the situation will be corrected ASAP. All repairs or adjustments are performed by Kia-trained technicians using only Kia-approved replacement parts. Schedule your next appointment online with ease here. Warranty protection applies for the first five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Maintenance items and damage caused by general wear and tear are not covered by warranty. Additional situations not covered by warranty include damage due to unauthorized repairs, accidental damage, or damage due to insufficient maintenance. These situations are detailed in your warranty handbook. Powertrain Warranty The powertrain includes your engine, transmission, transaxles, axles, differentials, and propeller shafts. These are the most expensive and complex systems in your vehicle, and they are essential for your vehicle to be able to drive. These systems are covered for ten years or 120,000 miles for the original owner. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ If you sell your Kia, the warranty on the powertrain isn't transferrable. In this circumstance, the powertrain is covered for any remaining portion of the basic warranty. Certain circumstances and situations that might occur are not covered by warranty, and their details are specified in your warranty handbook. Adjustment Coverage Service adjustments are any changes or alternations that don't require replacement parts. This includes adjusting seatbelts, car belts, cables, levers, or pedals. These and any other adjustments will be performed at no charge for the first year or 12,000 miles. Battery Coverage Your original battery is protected by warranty for the first three years or 36,000 miles. If the battery fails due to a warranty-related issue, it will be replaced at no charge. Audio/Entertainment System Coverage Your stereo, CD player, DVD player, and navigation system are protected for three years or 36,000 miles. Brake and Clutch Linings Coverage Your brake pads, shoes, and clutch linings are all protected for one year or 12,000 miles under normal usage. These components gradually wear out as they work, and this type of damage is not covered by warranty. Paint Your car paint consists of several layers to enhance the color. The final layer is a clear coat that protects the color against fading. If your paint suffers from chipping, discoloration, fading, or flaking during the first three years or 36,000 miles, this situation will be corrected at a Kia dealer.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A muggy South Carolina summer day is definitely not the time to discover your AC isn't working. As your Kia dealer, we can quickly and efficiently repair any possible AC problem. These are a few signs that you need to visit us for some AC maintenance. more Compressor Problems The compressor is the most important part of the AC system. It converts liquid refrigerant back into a gas, and it pushes air through the system so it can be chilled and blown into the cabin. A worn or damaged compressor can prevent the air from being cooled sufficiently or even stop the AC from working. A compressor can fail due to age, a broken compressor clutch, a blown fuse, damaged wiring, or insufficient refrigerant. If you don't hear a slight click every now and again, the compressor isn't switching on. If you do hear a click, the compressor is working but could lack refrigerant. Our technicians will need to examine your compressor to determine the exact problem. We can easily repair any compressor problem or replace a failed compressor with a new one, and your AC will work correctly again. Noisy AC AC systems don't make any significant sound when they're working properly, except for the slight click mentioned above and the sound of cold air gusting into the cabin. Odd noises like rusting, rattling, or clunking are all signs something has gone wrong. Rusting sounds are usually the least worrisome, as they generally mean leaves or dirt are trapped in the AC, and we need to clean the ducts to fix this issue. Rattling or clunking noises could mean hard objects, like gravel, have entered the ducts or the AC has loose or damaged components. Damaged bearings, for example, will cause clunking noises, and they will cause the compressor to fail if they're not replaced. We'll examine your AC, identify the cause of the trouble, and repair it. Bad Smells From the AC If you turn on the AC and smell a musty, earthy smell, bacteria have invaded your AC. This is a common problem and usually occurs during winter. During this time of year, your AC isn't switched on, and the dark AC ducts and the presence of water provide a fertile ground for bacteria to thrive. You'll only really know they're there when you turn on the AC again in summer. Fortunately, this is a quick and very inexpensive issue to fix. Our technicians will add an antibacterial solution to the AC and turn it on. The solution will blow through the system and rapidly remove any traces of bacteria. Your AC will be safe and hygienic again within minutes. If your AC isn't working correctly, contact our service department today at Burns Kia in Orangeburg, SC.

One of the many advantages of owning an EV or hybrid Kia is that these vehicles are designed for efficiency and require less maintenance. However, to maintain the fuel economy and eco-friendliness you anticipate, regular Kia EV maintenance and hybrid care are of the utmost importance. Below are tips from your Kia dealer to help you take care of your Kia EV or hybrid. more Battery Maintenance To maintain the health of your high-voltage battery, avoid overcharging it. Ensure that the battery charge never runs out completely to prolong the life of your battery pack. High-voltage battery packs are sensitive to extreme temperatures, so don't leave your EV or hybrid outside for long periods to safeguard the battery. Hybrids also have a standard car battery which powers the electrical components. Regularly inspect your car battery, make sure the connections are secure, and keep the terminals free of corrosion. Have your Kia technician inspect and test the batteries regularly to ensure they are in good working condition. Fluid Checks and Replacements It's important to ensure the coolant is always at the correct levels to control the battery temperature and prevent overheating. Check the coolant levels monthly and add more if needed. Have your Kia technician examine the condition of the cooling system hoses and replace the coolant as the manufacturer recommends. Hybrids also require oil changes to maintain optimal engine performance, but they are generally less frequent than those needed for conventional vehicles due to the engine's reduced workload. Nevertheless, we recommend following the oil change intervals in your owner's manual and speaking to your Kia technician for guidance. Regenerative Braking System Inspections Your vehicle's regenerative braking system converts your vehicle's motion into electricity to recharge the high-performance battery. This improves your Kia's fuel efficiency and reduces brake system wear. You can extend the intervals between brake pad and fluid replacements by being a careful driver and avoiding hard braking. Regular battery inspections by your Kia technician are essential for your safety due to the specialized maintenance required for the regenerative braking system. Tire Checks and Rotations Your vehicle carries a heavier load and has instant torque, which requires stronger tires with tougher rubber compounds to withstand wear. To ensure that your tires meet the specific requirements, we recommend talking to us and referring to your owner's manual for specific information on tire pressure and replacements. Regularly checking your tires, maintaining proper pressure levels, and rotating them during each oil change will help extend their lifespan. Maintaining your vehicle is vital to ensure its efficiency and longevity. For all the information you need on taking proper care of your EV or hybrid, drop by Burns Kia in Orangeburg, SC, today. We offer outstanding maintenance services by certified Kia technicians to help you keep your Kia EV or hybrid performing at its best.

If there's something too close to the back of your car, then your Kia can automatically engage the brakes. This works whether you're about to hit any obstacle; it aims to prevent collisions with anything that's in your way. Blind Spot Collision Warning Seeing objects in your blind spot can be difficult while driving.
