Kia Telluride: Consumer info / Electrical Equipment (U.S. only)
The advanced electrical system engineered into your Kia Telluride performs reliably and efficiently under all reasonably expected driving and operating conditions.
Before attempting to install any additional electrical equipment or aftermarket accessories in your Kia Telluride, you must consult an authorized Kia dealer to ensure that the modifications will not inadvertently void your factory warranty coverage.
Certain electronic equipment, or improper methods of installation, can severely disrupt or adversely affect vital vehicle operations—including sensitive systems such as the engine control module, audio and infotainment architecture, and the high-output electrical charging system—which may potentially void all or part of your vehicle warranty.
Kia America, Inc. explicitly assumes no legal or financial responsibility for any unexpected expenses you may incur, nor for any mechanical or electrical malfunctions of your Kia Telluride, its components, or its integrated systems resulting directly from the installation of additional electrical equipment that was not supplied, authorized, or recommended for installation by Kia.
Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
Improper installation of a high-power mobile two-way radio system or the mounting of an excessively powerful transceiver inside your Kia Telluride can generate electromagnetic interference that adversely affects other sensitive electronic vehicle control systems. To avoid damaging your vehicle’s electronics or compromising safety, always consult an authorized Kia dealer regarding proper equipment selection and professional installation specifications.
All Kia vehicles are precision-designed and manufactured to meet or strictly exceed all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
