2008 Kia Rio5 Service and Repair Manual

Because the 2008 Kia Rio5 factory service and repair manual is written for this exact model year, its 1.6L engine and each of its hatchback trims, every clearance, sequence and specification inside is the one Kia published for this car — not a near-match figure carried over from another year of the Rio line.

Engines covered

• 1.6L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

• EX
• EX Convenience
• EX Sport
• LX
• SX

Known issues on the 2008 Rio5. Owners have filed 6 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 3 technical service bulletins.

On a car specified this narrowly — one engine, five trims, one model year — the difference that matters is working from the figure Kia set for the 2008 Rio5 rather than one that is merely close enough for a different Rio.
