Where Do I Find Other Types Of Information In Kia?

Posted on 17 July 2018 | Share: | Print Print

Navigating OEM websites can be challenging when searching for collision repair procedures, especially as no two OEM websites are alike. What happens when you need to find other types of repair information, such as, "What needs to be inspected after a supplemental restraints system (SRS) deployment?", or "Does the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) require a scan tool or specialty tool?" Let's take a closer look at the Kia website.

Kia provides several different ways in which to search for information. For example, to find the Replacement Of Components After Deploying The SRS document:

DESCRIPTION FOR SEOFigure 1
  1. Go to www.kiatechinfo.com
  2. Enter username and password (left of webpage)
  3. Click Login
  4. Click Go To Kia Global Information System
  5. Click Service Materials (top of webpage)
  6. Click Service Info (SI)
  7. Select the Year and Model from the dropdowns
  8. Click on "+" button next to applicable engine type
    • This expands the sub-folders (see Figure 1)
  9. Click Restraint
  10. Click Repair Procedures

The other way to search is by the Keyword search feature located beneath the vehicle information. Here you can simply type in a keyword, such as TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system). The search results provide all areas in which TPMS is referenced.

For additional Kia information, check out the Kia OEM Information page.
