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 Soul with three different four-cylinder engines, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to your exact year, engine and trim — so the specifications and sequences it gives are the ones Kia published for this vehicle, not close-enough figures pulled from an adjacent model year.

Engines covered

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

Body styles covered

  • 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

  • Base
  • EX
  • EX Pack
  • Exclaim
  • LX
  • Plus
  • SX

Known issues on the 2019 Soul. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns the air bags: in affected vehicles the Air Bag Control Unit cover may contact a memory chip, and air bags that do not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Owners have filed 186 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 79 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems are in this manual.

From tracing an air bag warning lamp to servicing the turbocharged 1.6L or a scheduled maintenance interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2019 Soul.

NHTSA #22V03100025/01/2022Component: AIR BAGS

Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Sedona, Soul, Soul EV, 2017-2018 Forte, and 2017 Forte Koup vehicles. The Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) cover may contact a memory chip on the printed circuit board and damage the electrical circuit. Circuit damage may result in deactivated air bags that will not deploy in a crash.

Consequence

Air bags that do not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the ACU, and either update the software or replace the unit, as necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 21, 2022. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC226.
