2019 Kia Sportage Service and Repair Manual

Every specification in the 2019 Kia Sportage factory service and repair manual was published by Kia for this exact year, engine and trim — so the torque values, clearances and test procedures you follow are the ones written for your Sportage, not close-enough figures borrowed from another model year.

Known issues on the 2019 Sportage. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers trailer hitches: on Sportages equipped with a tow hitch, a fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The second covers the antilock service brake system’s Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit, whose electrical circuit may short-circuit, which can cause a fire — an engine compartment fire can increase the risk of injury. Owners have filed 98 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 63 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are tracing an electrical fault around the brake control unit, inspecting a tow-equipped Sportage, or keeping to the factory service schedule on the 2.0L turbo, the manual holds you to Kia’s own procedure and the correct figures for your 2019 Sportage.
