The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

Kia published one set of service values for the 2014 Rio, and that is the set this factory service and repair manual carries: it is matched to this exact year, engine and trim, so every clearance, sequence and specification inside is the one written for your car rather than a near-match carried over from an earlier or later Rio.

Engines covered

  • 1.6L inline-four (97 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

  • EX
  • LX
  • SX

Known issues on the 2014 Rio. One recall is on federal record for this model year, part of a Kia campaign that spans the 2012-2017 Rio alongside several other models. It covers the hydraulic antilock brake and traction control system, where the defect can result in an engine compartment fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven, increasing the risk of injury. Owners have filed 74 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 85 technical service bulletins.

From inspecting the antilock brake system named in that recall to a routine service interval on the 1.6L, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2014 Rio.
