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.

Kia sold the 2019 Optima in thirteen trims spanning five engines, from the base gas four-cylinder to turbocharged and plug-in hybrid variants, and this factory service and repair manual is keyed to that exact year and lineup — every specification and sequence in it is the one Kia published for the 2019 car, not a close-enough figure carried over from an earlier Optima generation.

Engines covered

  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four full hybrid (122 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.4L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four plug-in hybrid (122 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 1.6L inline-four (97 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Known issues on the 2019 Optima. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns the forward collision avoidance system’s automatic emergency braking. Kia recalled certain 2019 Optimas equipped with Gamma 1.6L Turbo-GDI or Theta II 2.0L Turbo-GDI engines over a software error in the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist; improper intervention of the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist can increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 300 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 109 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are chasing a driver-assistance fault on a turbo car, servicing a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain, or working through a scheduled interval, it keeps you on Kia’s own procedure and the correct specification for your 2019 Optima.

NHTSA #19V53900019/07/2019Component: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2019 Optima vehicles equipped with Gamma 1.6L Turbo-GDI or Theta II 2.0L Turbo-GDI engines. A software error in the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system may cause the braking assist function to not engage when a stationary vehicle is detected.

Consequence

Improper intervention of the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will update the FCA software, free of charge. The recall began August 27, 2019. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC179.
