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 2022 Seltos in nine trims, with a four-cylinder lineup split between naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. This factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year, engine and trim range, so the figures you work to are the ones Kia published for the 2022 Seltos rather than close-enough numbers carried over from another model year.

Engines covered

  • 1.6L inline-four — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
  • 1.5L inline-four (91 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 1.4L inline-four (83 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • EX Premium
  • LX

  • SX Turbo
  • SXL
  • X-Line

Known issues on the 2022 Seltos. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it reaches the engine's internal hard parts: Kia is recalling certain 2021-2023 Seltos and Soul vehicles because the piston oil rings may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can result in engine damage. Engine damage can cause a vehicle stall or fire, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Owners have filed 89 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 81 technical service bulletins.

From an engine inspection prompted by the piston oil ring recall to a scheduled service on any of the nine trims, this manual keeps you on Kia's published procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2022 Seltos.
