KIA Magentis 2006 - 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 because the employees own a significant percentage of the company.
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 syllable, a,
means “Asia”. So, the word Kia, means “to arise from” or “to come up out of Asia to the world”.
Enjoy your vehicle!
